Teddy bears lead this set, joined by rocking horses, stacked blocks and toy trains in cheerful colors, with the dark outline keeping every shape clear. These toy embroidery designs go on the things that hold toys and on the clothes kids play in: drawstring toy bags, canvas storage bins, play mats, pajamas and overalls.
Canvas and denim take a cut-away for dense designs or a tear-away for light ones, with a 75/11 sharp needle. On knit pajamas, use a soft cut-away and a ballpoint needle, and keep the design away from seams so the hoop sits flat.
A small train or block at 70 mm fits a pocket or a bin label; a teddy bear at 125 mm fills the front of a toy bag or a cushion. For more, see the cute animal designs for kids and the train designs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I embroider a design on a stuffed toy?
Not once it is finished, because a stuffed toy cannot be hooped and the needle would hit the filling. Embroider the flat fabric piece first, with a cut-away stabilizer and a topping on plush fabric, then cut it out, sew the toy together and stuff it. For toys for babies, stitched eyes are safer than plastic ones.
How do I wash toy bags and toys with embroidery?
Wash them inside a laundry bag on a gentle cycle and dry them flat or on low heat. Polyester embroidery thread keeps its color in warm water, but the fabric of the toy may not, so follow the care label of the toy or bag.
