This guide will show you how to create a one-of-a-kind gift that’s soft and safe for a baby’s delicate skin.
All the technologies and advice in this guide are recommended by our lead embroidery artisan. Together with his team, he ensures every stitch reflects perfection and safety.

More Than a Name: Why Choose SwaddleAn's Artisanal Embroidery Service?
Incredible softness is what sets SwaddleAn’s artisanal embroidery apart from machine-made ones. Our artisans ensure the back of each embroidered design has no rough or stiff lining.
More than anyone else, we know that even the smallest bump or loose thread can rub against your baby’s delicate skin. So, our artisans put extra effort and carefully manage every stitch. The result is completely soft embroideries, gentle and safe for your little one.
Safety aside, SwaddleAn believes every baby deserves a one-of-a-kind gift, not just a mass-produced blanket you can find everywhere.
Your 3-Step Simple Process to Create the Perfect Gift
Although our making process involves lots of steps and effort, it’s a breeze to order our custom embroidered baby blankets. All you have to do is select your favorite blanket and choose the font and thread color. Finally, type in your baby’s name or special messages before making payments.
Step 1: Choose the Perfect Baby Blanket
Start by picking a baby blanket from our diverse collection. If you value minimalism, a classic knit design is the way to go. Heirloom lace adds a timeless grace, and the ruffle brings a modern charm while softening the edges.
All designs are made from premium knit cotton, making a perfect canvas for delicate embroideries to shine.
Step 2: Select Your Embroidery Style (Font & Thread Color)
Now, scroll through our exclusive catalogue of thread colors and embroidery fonts for baby blankets to pick your favorites. With 16 different fonts and 16 thread colors, there will be something for your baby at SwaddleAn.
Whether it’s an elegant handwritten style or a clear print one, you call the shots. Pair it with a matching thread color, and the embroidery pattern will pop.
Step 3: Enter Your Personalization Details
It’s time for magic! Just enter your baby’s name, monogram, or birth date. And there you have it—a unique hand-embroidered baby gift for your little angel.
Remember to double-check for typos because our artisans will use this information precisely. You don’t want a custom blanket with a mistake in the name!

In fact, simply embroidering your baby’s name on the blanket already makes it a timeless keepsake. You can either add their full name, like Olivia Grace, or their monogram, like O.G.

If you feel fancy, why not turn a blanket into an adorable and practical birth stats sign? Consider including birth date, weight, and length.
Your baby can outgrow the blanket’s size, but they never outgrow its meaning—a true heirloom that transcends time.
The Love Note: A short message
Feel free to leave your loving notes on the blanket. Think short, simple messages like “You’re my sunshine,” “Be loved,” or “For my granddaughter.”
Whenever your child looks at the blanket, they know for sure how much they have been loved since day one.

How to Wash an Embroidered Blanket?
