I would like to emboss some designs on denim - what is an easy way to get a design to stick/show?

Emboss? As in change the surface structure rather than just add something to it?
Begin with denim with a *high* synthetic content, not all cotton and/or linen and/or hemp. The synthetic portion can be molded under heat permanently, like ironing hair only worse. Create positive and negative molds, at least one of which should be metal.
Experiment with different heat setting on scrap materials ... begin with lower settings and work you way up.

How about a weak solution of bleach and water, instead of heat?
