Make a Style Statement with Customized Back-to-School Embroidery

Sorry kids, it’s that time of year again; back to school! You’ve got notebooks, pens, pencils, and all the supplies.

They are waiting by the door, and you’re schedule is all set! But what have you forgotten? The finishing touch of embroidery, of course!

We have a list of designs and projects to make your school year more fun and exciting.  There are many ways to mark your things, show your school pride and have fun!

So you want to start embroidering back-to-school garments! First, you must decide on the embroidery design you’ll use. Let’s peek at some fun designs that can be used to start the school year.

We have an ark full of animals and mascots waiting to go on your book bag, backpack or sweatshirt. Show your ferocious team spirit!

Have a favorite teacher, coach, nurse, bus driver, or lunch lady? We have the perfect way to ensure they know how appreciated they are!

We’ve whetted your appetite with fantastic embroidery designs, but how will you use them?

Backpacks nowadays have many places begging for decoration; straps, pockets, it’s endless! Word of caution, though, watch out for zippers, heavy padding, and other things that could hurt your machine.

Embroidery your existing pencil case!

Want to personalize a pencil case even further? Use your own custom fabric and create your own easy zipper bag from scratch. Create specialty bags with ease with our in-the-hoop zipper insertion project!

Use a school-themed embroidery design or make your own sayings with a cool font for your t-shirt or sweatshirt.

Decorating your shirt with your school mascot, favorite sport, or your child’s name in a fun font is a cool idea. It adds a personal touch to your outfit and allows you to show off your interests. Plus, it’s a great way to support your school or team. So why not give it a try and have some fun with your wardrobe?
