Personalization Process & Thread Options
We offer over 100 embroidery thread colors to match any preference, occasion, or color scheme. Our personalization studio uses commercial-grade embroidery machines that create precise, durable stitching directly into your Squishmallow’s fabric without compromising the signature soft texture. You can select from eight distinct font styles ranging from playful bubble letters to elegant script, ensuring your custom text matches the recipient’s personality perfectly.
Each personalized Squishmallow is made to order, which means your customization is created specifically for you after purchase. Our embroidery specialists review every order for spacing, placement, and color coordination before stitching begins. Thread colors can be matched to school mascots, favorite sports teams, nursery themes, or personal preferences. We recommend selecting high-contrast thread colors for maximum visibility – for example, navy or black thread on light-colored Squishmallows like Connor the Cow, or white or bright colors on darker characters.
Custom Text Guidelines & Character Limits
Character limits for personalization vary by Squishmallow size to ensure embroidery remains legible and proportional. Our 8-inch Squishmallows accommodate up to 10 characters, 12-inch sizes allow 15 characters, 16-inch versions support 12 characters in larger fonts, and our 20-inch giant Squishmallows can feature up to 18 characters. These limits include spaces and punctuation, so we recommend planning your text carefully.
You can personalize with names, nicknames, dates, short phrases, or meaningful words. Popular options include first names, birth dates formatted as MM.DD.YYYY, phrases like “Dream Big” or “Be Kind,” sports jersey numbers, or initials. Special characters like hearts, stars, and ampersands are available in most font styles. Our ordering system provides a real-time preview showing exactly how your text will appear, including size, placement, and thread color selection.
Care Instructions for Embroidered Squishmallows
Personalized Squishmallows require slightly different care than standard versions to protect your custom embroidery. We use colorfast, fade-resistant threads and secure stitching techniques, but following proper care guidelines ensures your personalization looks perfect for years. Machine washing is safe on cold water gentle cycle – place your personalized Squishmallow inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent embroidery from snagging on other items.
Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, which can dull thread colors over time. Air drying is strongly recommended; if you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove promptly when dry. High heat can cause polyester fabric and embroidery thread to shrink at different rates, potentially puckering the personalized area. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently blot the embroidered area rather than rubbing vigorously.
