1. Three-dimensional embroidery, using polyurethane foam to make embroidery have a three-dimensional effect. Put the foam on the fabric and embroider it on it. Perform high-density needle embroidery, tear the foam into pieces and remove the foam.

2. Applique embroidery, a decorative object cut from a piece of fabric is sewn on other fabrics, and the edges are usually sewn with needles. It can increase the size and (or) texture of the pattern, and can also be used for saving or decorative purposes. Appliques are often used to reduce the number of stitches in an embroidery. Fabrics that cannot be finished with embroidery (such as continuous color prints), and decorative interlinings that are difficult to embroider directly.

3. Back appliques, which use appliques to embroider behind the pattern. The front of the pattern will be removed so that its back is visible.

4. Interlinings, which are used under the pattern to be embroidered, to stabilize and support the needles of the embroidery material. The effect is best when the pattern is framed by the embroidery frame, but interlinings can also be placed between the pattern to be embroidered and the needle plate of the flatbed machine. Interlinings come in many styles and weights, and the commonly mentioned ones are cut cloth embroidery and tear cloth embroidery.

5. Terry, a looped yarn that can produce a rough, blocky appearance on woven and knitted fabrics.

6. Bolton stitch, a needle similar to the herringbone stitch, except that its alternating needles are parallel to each other to form a "Z" shape. Generally used for embroidered cloth appliques.

7. Flocking, a decoration in which letters or patterns are engraved on fabric by means of wax paper coated with glue or powder. Also called suede or sheepskin.

8. Flocking, a type of needle. A device for producing a reinforced edge on scalloped fabric, such as for a strong tailoring edge.
