Showed my customer this mock-up which they really like, spoke to my usual embroidery company but they say this is stand off and they only do flat.

Is this a special type of embroidery or do I need to be looking at getting transfer etc. made?

H Justin,
Not really understanding what your meaning can you elaborate a bit is it raised embroidery or something specific.

Sammy,

Just looking online and it appears it would need 3D embroidery to stand off from the cap? They say to use 2/3mm foam and then embroider on top.

yup you just beat me to it sounds like 3 d puffy foam will do the job all they need to do is double density satin stitch. Just in case your interested knowing your not a great fan of embroidery. Target transfers have a great new product out that I was looking at the P & P Show they actually sent me a sample its a raised type of vinyl called high build 3D personally I think it looks great and would give you a similar effect as the embroidery. Comes in sheets you cut it yourself you do need a different cutting blade though as its quite thick I think its on there website and if you phone the nice people there I'm sure they would send you out a sample.

Who said I wasn't a fan? I just don't want to take it in-house

Uhm, will take a look at those sheets, maybe not for this project but sounds very interesting.

Anyone know how big the sheets are?

at £9.00 + a sheet I am hoping its at least a king size bed

Hi Social,
The price list they sent me out with the samples says 500mm wide and then 7.95 for a mtr 7.75 for 5 mtr is expensive but looked real good on the tops they had on display.

Cheers Sammy. That's not too bad then. Might have to order a few meters and give it a test.

we do have some 3d foam here and can embroider caps. havent done any 3d yet but happy to give it a go.

Many thanks. Customer is running with normal embroidery, quotes for 3d puff were very expensive.
