Stoles are the classic project. Satin slips and marks easily, so float it on hooped adhesive tear-away instead of clamping it between the hoop rings, and place the design a few inches above the point or the bottom edge. A cap on one side and the year on the other makes a balanced layout.

Add the class year with the number designs and the graduate's name or school initials with the monogram maker. These graduation embroidery designs also suit preschool and kindergarten graduations, where a little cap on a kids' tee becomes a keepsake of the day.

Graduation parties need favors too: a small cap on a drawstring bag or a cloth napkin ties the table together. Teachers saying goodbye to a class will find apples and chalkboards in the teacher designs.

Frequently asked questions

What size design fits a graduation stole?

Measure the stole first: most are about 10 to 14 cm (4 to 5.5 in) wide at the ends. The 95 mm size fits stoles of about 13 cm (5 in) and wider, with a margin on both sides; on narrower stoles, take the 70 mm size. Keep the motif clear of the seam allowance and the point.

What graduation gift can I embroider?

A canvas tote for college books, a keepsake pillow with the graduate's name and the class year, a laptop sleeve, or a towel set for a first apartment. Stitch the year with polyester thread on anything that will be washed, and finish the gift a week before the ceremony.
