Excessive Zig-Zag.
Avoid excessive zig-zag underlay -Designs should have a double edgewalk underlay. |
Not too thick.
Keep foam thickness around 3/16" to 1/4" for best results. |
Needle Selection.
A ball point needle leaves a slightly larger hole than a sharp point, perforating the foam cleanly. A sharp point works nearly as well, but the bottom line is to use a needle that is best suited to the garment. |
|
Relax Tensions.
Relax the tensions so as not to overly compress the foam material.
|
Keep it Simple.
Simplify shapes whenever possible to keep elements more rounded, rather than sharp, and keep columns as wide as possible. |
Keyboard Lettering.
Note: Keyboard lettering can be used with 3-D foam. However, you may have to edit certain letters where sections join to eliminate gaps. |
