Have you tried a 3D Embroidery Designs?

If no, then here is the tutorial to digitize the 3D embroidery designs.

For the tutorial purpose we have a simple designs covering the 3D motif stitches to illustrate.Following are the various step to make a 3D designs as shown below:

1) First of all draw a simple circle using the 'Ellipse' drawing tools.In this designs the bigger circle we have drawn is of 4.5mm in size.
2) Once you draw a circle, click on the drawn circle and then click on Input C or Complex fills tools and press enter.It will automatically generate the stitches in the circle.
