Floriani 3-D
Embroidery by Fuwari technique
Say Goodbye to Chenille!!!
Fuwari is a
new style of 3D embroidery - Fuwari, which means "soft
and furry" in Japanese, describes a process that uses a
conventional single-head or multi-head embroidery
machine and special cutting machine to produce
velour-like designs in which the threads stand upright
rather than lay flat.
This process
is a patented technique that starts with a design made
with Fuwari CAD software then uses a special twisted
bobbin thread and process to leave the stitches up to
5mm from the fabric.
|
This isn't "3D Puff
Embroidery", we do that as well, but rather a
fully three dimensional (3D) effect allowing the
thread to stand up as if to attention. |

Practical
Applications
The Floriani 3-D Embroidery technique
isn't for everyone, but it is a distinct and
eye-catching effect that is definitely going to
transform the industry! Uses for this can be:
- Alternative for chenille
- Textured designs and logos
- Children's clothing and
accessories
- Holiday clothing and gifts
- Use your imagination!

Soft and
Plushy
Another effect is a very soft look and feel
when it is treated in a very simple manner. |
The secret is simple, and is
also warning if you want your designs to stay upright
all the time. A single pass with a standard iron will
determine the direction of the pattern and will not
return to it's original 'attention'.
This does however create a
wonderful texture that pictures just can't show. You
have to see both styles to believe it!
Base
Materials?
Basically no restriction, including leather
and lace, except for the material which is
damaged at temperature around 284 ºF (140 ºC)

Limitations:
As polyester thread is the standard thread used,
Rayon thread is good only when the embroidery is
not going to be washed - the piles will lay after
washing. This isn't to say that it can't be used, just
that the effect will be different. Please contact us for
details. The only other limitation is that Metallic
threads cannot be used for this process.
