How much thread will I need?

No. This is a digital embroidery design — a set of machine files you download. It is not a patch, a transfer, or any physical item, and nothing is posted to you. You will need an embroidery machine and a way to transfer the files to it.

The detail

Description

Bring campus pride to your stitching with this Princeton-inspired letter P, shaped in orange and black tiger stripes and edged with a crisp white outline. The single initial keeps the look bold and recognisable, while the sports styling gives it the feel of classic collegiate kit. It suits alumni, students, supporters and anyone putting together teamwear-style pieces with a New Jersey university look.

Because this is a dense, heavily stitched design with just 3 thread colours, it has a solid, filled appearance that reads well on sturdier fabrics. It makes the strongest impression on sweatshirts, varsity-style jackets, hoodies, tote bags and the front of a structured cap. The grey, black, white and orange palette pops especially well on darker grounds, where the white outline helps the striped P stay clear.
