Creating the Dimensional Effect

FF_before_front.jpg (50507 bytes) This is what a BYO Fluffy looks like after you've stitched it out.
FF_before_back.jpg (41991 bytes) This is what the back side of a BYO Fluffy looks like after you've stitched it out.  Notice the ring of white bobbin thread in the middle of each flower.
FF_after_back.jpg (61074 bytes) Clip and/or pull out (I prefer to clip) the white bobbin thread only.  Do NOT cut the top threads that have looped to the backside.
FF_after_front.jpg (51877 bytes) After the bobbin thread has been removed from the backside, use a stiletto or small scissors to slip under the loops of satin stitches and pull them gently to the top.
FF_done_front.jpg (50105 bytes) Voilą!  You now have a three dimensional embroidered work of art!
