Bundles for every favorite film

Choose a 12-design set for one film (Totoro, Ponyo, Kiki’s Delivery Service or Howl’s Moving Castle), the 20-design Totoro, soot sprite and Catbus bundle, or an 8-design mix of favorites. Every bundle is a set of digital machine-embroidery files in popular formats such as PES, DST and JEF.

The mega bundle collects all four 12-design film sets: 48 designs, each in five sizes (4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 inches, or 100 to 198 mm) and six formats: PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3 and XXX. The 4-inch size fits a 4x4 hoop.

The varsity alphabet bundle pairs college-style letters with 20 characters, so you can stitch a child’s name with their favorite spirit beside it.

Soft fabrics need good support

Kids’ sweatshirts and fleece stretch easily. Follow our guide to machine embroidering a sweatshirt for stabilizer, placement and hooping tips.
