I embroidered 3D flowers on an apron - alas before I started taking pictures of all I stitched out. I did a number of daisies, stitched them on cotton on tear away end cut it back like an applique befor the final outline, left out the yellow heart of the flower.
Then I hooped the apron, stitched the flowers - one at a time - added the loose embroidered ones on top, them stitched the heart to finish them. Looked great andstayed lovely after being laundered many times.

I saw this flower as part of a patchability wall hanging. the flower looks like you stitch the same flower 2 times and glue of tack the second flower on top of the embroidered flower that is stitched directly on the quilt. Not sure if you can understand what I mean. Maybe Im not explaining it correctly but I see what you sent. I only want 1 flower on top of another. just enough to give it 3d
168887lcoste, to make a flower 3D - you actually have to have a design that is made to be used this way - there are several out there - even a couple on this site. You do usually stitch the flower using water soluable stabilizer (WSS) - either on a fabric or it is Free Standing Lace (FSL). I generally use two layers of WSS when I am making FSL - use the same embroidery thread in the top and bobbin. I have used organza to do some 3D flowers and I just hooped the organza and didn't use WSS, but you have to be rather careful when you are working with organza, too. I used the same embroidery thread in the top and the bobbin on the organza flowers, as well.
