3. Cost very minimal to have Puffy Foam™ in your shop.

4. Easy to change the look on a Puffy Foam™ design by simply changing the foam thickness and/or density.


top 5 tips when using puffy foam

1. Designs need to be digitized specifically for use with Puffy Foam™. Digitizers will use specific techniques to keep foam from collapsing while encasing foam completely in stitches. (Share the thickness of Puffy Foam™ with your digitizer.)

2. Use commercial grade Puffy Foam™ to ensure durability and compatibility. Non-toxic. Available at Gunold.

3. Best practice is to match foam color with thread color when possible.

4. Puffy Foam™ thickness varies (2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 6mm). For thicker foam, the design density and stitch length may need to be increased to create full coverage.

5. Puffy Foam™ density varies to create a different look to the finished product. Classic foam has a slight rounded look whereas the Dense foam creates a sharper, taller look. Gunold USA carries our Classic Line and Dense Line. The Dense Line is 44% more dense than the Classic Line.
