The hair does most of the work here. Two thick messy buns sit on either side, stitched in dense black satin that gives the whole silhouette that chunky graphic look. Wrapped around each bun is a bandana bow absolutely stuffed with rainbow puzzle pieces in yellow, red, aqua and dark blue. The face below is just a clean oval shape with heart-shaped sunglasses, and those sunglasses are also filled edge to edge with the same puzzle piece pattern.
Then #BEKIND comes in below in big bold lettering that matches the black of the hair. And small individual puzzle pieces scatter around the outside of the design like they spilled out of the bows. Its the kind of thing where youre reading the text and your eye is already halfway through figuring it out from the shape. Thats kinda the point.
Send me a quick chat if youre unsure about stabiliser but heres the short answer: the black on this one is 18k stitches on the 4-inch alone, because it covers so much area. Total count goes up to 70k on the 8-inch, which is one of the heavier files Ive got in this shop. Use a firm medium-weight cutaway on all fabric types, dont use tear-away here. The density rewards a proper stabiliser setup. Hoop tight and use a topper on any knit or polo pique.
White is the obvious call for this but it genuinely pops on pale yellow, baby blue or light grey too because those puzzle piece colours carry on any pale ground. Dark fabrics wash out the blue pieces a bit so Id stick to light if you want the full colour read.
One customer stitched out a set of the 5-inch on grey crewneck sweatshirts for a school autism walk fundraiser and they sold out same morning. April orders really do pile up for this one, so if youre planning a batch run book your machine time early. Send me a note if anything runs wrong and Ill get it fixed fast.

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.
