A cloth woven with a raised design is called a brocade. A damask fabric also has a raised design. With a damask the design is visible from both sides of the fabric.
To create a textured design using the surface single crochet technique, you will work single crochet stitches on the surface of your fabric instead of into the stitches. This creates a raised, textured effect. Start by inserting your hook into the fabric, yarn over, pull up a loop, and complete a single crochet stitch. Repeat this process across the surface of your fabric to create the desired textured design.

A good way to surface stitch letters is to cover the fabric with a "dressing" or a water-soluable stabilizer such as "Solvey" before embroidering the letters. The dressing prevents the embroidery stitches from pulling tightly into the fabric, so that the threads lie neatly on the fabric surface.
The raised ridges on corduroy fabric are called wales.
