How to give a logo an embroidery look?

Thinking of trying something new with my youth soccer team I coach.
Is there a plugin for PS or flexi?

thanks!

This one is probably the best out of the three that were listed. At least for fill stitching. The text, not so much. For looking like embroidery.

This one is second best, but still very rough.

That one actually looks more like Chenille then it does embroidery. Manual chenille, not automated chenille (there is a significant difference between the two).


Of course, nothing is really going to beat a simulated preview done with an embroidery program (although they do have digitizing plugins for Ai (although the one that I'm thinking about goes for 3k for the full license)). The chenille one looks the most finished, but it doesn't look like embroidery, it looks like chenille.
