I have never used one before so therefore i don't have one, but wanted to know if anyone had a combination of filters they used to get an embroidery effect, or if there is a filter that is specifically for that. Can anyone point me in the right direction please with names and URL's?

You may find Photo-Art Challenge #20 (http://www.retouchpro.com/challenges/showgallery.php/cat/588) or the links in this thread (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9359) useful.

Also check out this tutorial on Worth 1000. Has the same type of effect.
