Kids embroidery designs

Meet the Hoopkins

No. 1 is Ember, the marshmallow dragon: its flame is never hotter than a cup of cocoa, just right for marshmallows. No. 2 is Geode, the crystal dino, who grows one new crystal on its back every birthday. No. 3 is Zip, the lightning bumblebee, whose buzz sounds like tiny thunder. No. 4 is Puddle, the rain frog, who comes out to splash whenever it rains. No. 6 is Mossby, the mossy sloth, who naps so long that a little garden grows on its back. No. 8 is Bloop, the bubble axolotl. Zip and Bloop are free with your email. More Hoopkins are hatching soon: a snowflake narwhal, a galaxy kitten and a cloud unicorn.

Made for kids' clothes

Bold outlines, flat colors and big round shapes that stitch cleanly even in a 4 × 4 hoop. The white parts are the fabric itself, so the design looks embroidered, not printed. Stitch them on white, cream or pastel tees, sweatshirts, canvas backpacks, totes, bibs and baby blankets. Use a cut-away stabilizer on knits, a firm tear-away on canvas, and a water-soluble topping on fleece and minky.

Three sizes

A 6 × 10 for sweatshirt fronts and backpacks, a 5 × 7 for kids' tees and a 4 × 4 for pockets, bibs and patches (the free Hoopkins come in 5 × 7 and 4 × 4). Each size is digitized at its own size, not scaled. Add your child's name under it with your machine's own lettering.

Priced by the design

Each design is $0.99 to $2.99, depending on how much there is to stitch, and comes in every size and format with its production sheet. No subscription. Our free designs cost just your email.
