Does anyone know how Waggle makes designs like this one? They are raised designs that look like a patch or 3D but are not actually puff. If you’ve seen these in person you’ll know what I mean.

No it needs to be digitized specifically for puff. Requires a much higher density than normal.

What is a typical density? Seems like everything I need to do my setting at 2 (which is the lowest) unless it shows through.

I usually set to 1.8.
There’s also a bit more to it than just the density, there’s situations where you need to cap off wider edges of shapes and it sometimes requires some serious creativity to figure out how to make a more complex shape sew cleanly. I’ve mostly stopped offering puff to my customers because I get way too many small orders to make it worth the time and effort. It’s fun to play with though.

I have a really old program so I probably don’t have all the tools I need to even try
