Yesterday I played with puffy foam, well, I am not sold on it at all....First I spent an enormous amount of time digitizing this design for puffy foam, making sure all ends would be capped on everything I was using the foam on, then the result, for me, was less than adequate, so went back to the drawing board, so to speak, and used my raised satin stitch from my software and 'lo & behold, it turned out better and higher than using puffy foam..........it is neater looking and did not take near as long to digitize...what do you think? I took a close up, but you still can't see how high it is...I did the eyes and horns and down the nose on the inside..

The only use I've found for it is behind a baby applique that I want to have texture.

You did a great job as this is very pretty.
Puff foam don't excite me, guess I am not into being puffed up. Little shine maybe but not puffed.

I,also can see the puffy stitches. In about 5 years I'll have a go at that and wonder why I didn't try it ages ago. LOL

Vicki - you are amazing the things you try. I know you would like me to be honest but I do not like it much either. Sorry :(

I think your raised stitches look good. I am not a fan of puffy foam tho that may have something to do with the type if designs for it years ago. Someone just had a monogram font done with puffy foam and I went ahead and bought it just to see - her napkins looked fabulous! It's at Hang to Dry and it's called the Violet monogram. If you click on this link it will take you to the page and then click on quick view. She used white with a soft gray on the sides to outline and it looks vintage to me!
