I was thinking of creating Grandpa/Grandma sweatshirts with stick figure and name customization. Here's the link of what I found online. Can someone tell me where I can find stock designs like that for purchase. The website even offers the same embroidery designs to be heat pressed on tote bags and magnets. That's a great idea but I have absolute no idea how they would do it. In other words what's the process, what software is used etc. Any ideas?

The link you provided does not appear to be embroidery. Because of the personalization, most likely they all are transfers, probably sublimation. Ditto on the totes and magnets.

Software can be anything. Coreldraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, even Microsoft Word. Once you have the figures done, its a simple matter of dropping in names, printing to transfer paper, and press.

Grand Slam Designs has a lot of grandma shirt designs - stick figures etc.
I've used several of them and they sew out nicely.

The problem with stock designs, is that everybody else has them. Your best bet would be to design your own and have them digitized. Do a search for embroidery digitizing.

Great idea if you have the time to digitize them yourself. And to have them digitized could cost a big chunk of change.
A stick figure is a stick figure. I doubt many of our customers could look at a embroidered stick figure and be able to tell if it was a stock design or one you had created yourself.

lizziemaxine, thanks for the link. I've found some designs which I can surely use to update my grandma/grandpa embroidery shirts collection.

I didn't realize that it was a transfer or DTG print. Either way i thought it was a nifty idea to sell especially as a bundle with tote bags and magnets.

I think i should put together a design as such and print on shirts , now that I'll have my EPSON 1900 on Monday. It'll be quick and easy job compared to embroidery.
