What is 
Embroidery?
● Embroidery is a decoration technique in which the 
design is sewn directly onto the fabric.
● In flat embroidery, the decorative stitch is applied 
directly to the fabric to create the design.
● In 3D embroidery (aka puff or foam embroidery) a 
foam is placed on the fabric to create  a three-
dimensional effect.

Design 
complexity
Simplify your logo by reducing intricate patterns, small 
texts, and minute details that could become 
indistinguishable during rendering. 
For 3D embroidery, it is best to stick to simple designs 
like initials or monograms.

of colors or color gradients, you will need to simplify your 
logo before embroidering it. 
Digital Heat Transfer would be more suitable if you want to 
use a complex logo as such.
