Hit up a mug press last spring with this one and honestly it came out better than I expected. The sunflower sits on the left half of the design, petals radiating outward in those long directional satin columns you get when the density is dialled in at 581 points per inch. The black script wraps right across the flower like its growing through the words. Thats the part people always comment on.
Its 2 colours total, orange and black, with just 1 colour change so its fast on the bobbin. Runs anywhere from 13,394 stitches at 4 inches wide all the way to 29,060 at 7 inches, and the underlay holds clean on both cotton and polyester fleece. I get messages about whether the orange reads on dark fabrics, and honestly stick to white or cream bases if you want it to really pop. Use a medium-weight tearaway if youre doing it on a tee. Pop a cutaway underneath anything stretchy. Skip dark navy or black as a base fabric unless youre willing to swap the black thread for white so the script stays readable.
Four sizes in the download: 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, and 7 inch. Digitised in professional digitising tools so the stitch angles are proper, not just auto-generated. And so the lettering satin fills dont gap even at the 4-inch scale. Pop this at 4-inch onto a cotton tee and save the 7-inch for a tote or canvas where you have room to breathe. Hit me if you want a size adjustment or run into any issue after download.

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.
