As children of all ages get back into the school routine, display your school pride by creating an embroidery that shows off your school mascot.

There are embroideries available for many mascots within the Husqvarna Viking embroidery software. If you can't find the proper mascot in the software, try www.myembroideries.com.

This website offers many types of embroidery designs for purchase.

Last but not least, you can digitize your own mascot. In 4D Embroidery Extra you can use the ExpressDesign Wizard to create your mascot. For more control use the ExpressDesign Wizard in the 4D Design Creator, included in the 4D Professional. Adjust your Wizard design until it is just what you want. In the 3D System, use the QuickStitch functions in 3D Digitizing to help you create your design.

Type your mascot name and graduation year in the font of your choice from the Letter Tab. Choose the Full Circle , or , line type. For the 4D System type in the "Mascot" name. Hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and Enter. Now type in the "Graduation" year. Enter or Apply. For the 3D System, type in "Mascot" name "#" "Graduation" year. Enter or Apply.

Change the size of your circle to surround your mascot design by clicking and dragging on one of the square handles on the circle. Once you have the circle size set, move your letters around the circle until the mascot name is at the top of your design and the graduation year is at the bottom.

• Tip 1: To keep the size of the circle constant, hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard while you adjust the letter placement.
• Tip 2: Do all of your adjustments to the letters while you are in the Letter tab.

That's it! Embroider on a t-shirt, towel, sports bag – however you want to show your school spirit.
