Its the American flag but shaped into a heart. The left side of the heart is the navy blue canton with white stars sitting in a grid. Right side is the stripe section, crimson horizontals with white gaps running all the way across. The heart outline itself is a loose hand-drawn red line, not a perfect vector shape, which gives the whole thing a brushstroke quality that makes it look more handmade than commercial. Three colours total. Navy, crimson and white, thats alot it.
3 sizes, small at 3.01 inches wide up to 5.01 inches. Stitch count goes from 8,803 on the smallest up to 17,365 on the biggest. Density is 724 so its a firm, solid stitch that holds its shape on most cotton and twill fabrics. The satin stripe fills run horizontally and professional tools kept the angle consistent across all rows which you can tell when you look closely at the stitched-out piece.
I get steady orders for this one starting around May every year and it picks up through the whole summer. Fourth of july shirts, memorial day bags, veterans day gifts. A flag team booster group ordered two dozen on white twill hats last june and sent photos. Looked sharp, the navy stayed deep and the red lines stayed clean across the stripe rows.
White or cream cotton is the best ground, twill hats aswell. Light grey works fine. Skip anything with a print or pattern because the flag design has a lot going on in the stripe area and you lose the stripes against a busy background. Pair soft cutaway behind woven fabric. Go slower on the canton area where the stars are, the underlay is tight in that section.

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.
