"ALL" and "MAMA" are stitched in those thick navy slab-serif block letters, dense tatami fill, the kind you can run your finger across and feel the weight of the thread. Right in the centre "American" sweeps through in a big red satin-stitch cursive, bold and loopy with a tiny red heart near the top. Up in the top right corner theres a full American flag, white stars on a navy canton and alternating red and white satin rows for the stripes. Scattered around the whole layout are small navy hearts and five-point stars, its alot of personality but it all holds together as one clean read.
I made this for the mum who wears her patriotism on her sleeve, literally. A woman running a craft-fair booth last month grabbed the 5.5-inch version for a white jersey tee and said the red cursive really popped against the light fabric. Pop the 3.5-inch on a cotton twill cap if you want something everyday, it runs at 9,755 stitches and fits a standard front panel without crowding anything. And the 7.5-inch at 27,338 stitches is solid for a canvas tote back or a denim jacket, the slab letters stay crisp on tighter-weave fabric.
Hoop your base fabric with a firm cutaway stabiliser underneath, especially if youre working with fleece or terry where the underlay can sink into the pile. Use a topping sheet on those textures so the density reads clean. On cotton twill or canvas you can skip the topping, the weave is tight enough. Centre it so the flag clears any collar seam, and stitch the navy slab letters first before that script layer so your bobbin tension doesnt shift mid-run.
Holler at me if something looks off on the stitch-out.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
