Script Lettering with Graduation Cap Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The word Senior fills the whole design area in this big loopy cursive, the kind with long swash tails that curl back under the baseline and cross over. The cap sits right on top and a lil bunch of red scatter stars orbit the whole composition, maybe 10 or 11 of em spread around the edges. The year 2024 tucks inside the lettering in red so it reads as part of the script rather than a separate element. Its a cohesive lil composition, nothing sticks out awkwardly.

3 colours to run: the black main script, a grey underlay pass that gives the column fills some body, and the red for the stars and year. The grey is subtle, ya wont really see it in the final stitch-out but it stops the black thread from sinking into the fabric on lower thread counts. On the largest 5-inch size ya get 14,816 stitches and on the smallest 3-inch just 5,580 so this one is well within reach for most domestic machines. Its honestly one of the lighter senior designs I stock.

I made this for a customer last autumn who was organising matching hoodies for a college senior class. She needed nine sizes across the group and the script scaled really clean at every stop. Since then I get messages from people doing bulk orders for senior photo sessions, custom tote bags for graduating departments, that sort of thing. Ive even had a drama teacher order it for a backstage crew hoodie which I didnt expect.

Run it on black, navy or charcoal cotton for the strongest look. The red stars really pop on dark fabric. Avoid light grey or white because the black script can look flat without contrast behind it. Lay light tearaway woven shirt fabric and hoop a topping layer over any fleece or terry to keep those satin letterforms sitting clean. Stitch order is grey underlay first, then black script, then red stars last.
