Embroider Buddy
Introducing Embroider Buddy®! We make custom embroidery as easy as 1-2-3! I know the plush toy market well and I had never seen such a bear. On to the next idea!
Embroider Buddy was created by Donna Kotzer Jacobs and is the result of more than three years' development work. "For the last four years I have been exhibiting at the Imprint Sportswear Show in the US. I had developed a nice line of bearwear and bears that imprinters could purchase," Donna explains.

Ask anyone over thirty about their teddy bear. They remember the bear. Most of them do not remember what happened to it.

Happy Teddy Bear Day. Bobby comes in five colours, and his belly is sixteen inches of flat, embroidery-ready space. Link in bio.

The machine is off today.
Everything that gets personalized, somebody personalized it. Somebody hooped it, threaded six colours, and stood there while it stitched.
To everyone running a shop out of a spare room, today is yours.
Happy Labour Day.

Five new faces just landed on the shelf, and they won’t be here long.
Hippo, Puppy Dog, Unicorn, Cat, Moose. One easy price, while supplies last.
Add a name before they’re gone: “I’ll order it next week” is exactly how the good ones sell out.
Which one are you taking home?

Nobody remembers who gave them the plastic toy.
They remember the one with their name on it.
Stitched, not printed — so it survives the washing machine, the sleepovers, and the years.
BECAUSE PERSONAL SHOULD ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING.
Whose name would you stitch first?
This is Barnaby. He already has more followers than most of us.
Every Hubert Hound Buddy can carry a name in embroidery or imprint, whichever holds up best for how it’ll actually be loved.
Either way, it’s not coming off in the wash.
AVAILABLE IN EMBROIDERY OR IMPRINT, MADE TO LAST EITHER WAY
Which one of the pack would you name first?

Swipe to meet him up close.
Who would you stitch a birthday for?
