Pieced this one together after a customer asked me for something they could put on a memory quilt. Its a single awareness ribbon that bends and crosses itself to form a heart frame, the tails hang down just enough to read as a ribbon but the top half reads clearly as a heart. Thats the whole concept. Simple but it hits different when you know what its for.
Its digitised as a single-colour satin fill so you can thread it in any colour tied to a specific cause. Pink for breast cancer, teal for ovarian, purple for lupus, light blue for prostate, whatever the recipient needs. Hoop a firm stabiliser because the satin columns are directional and any shift will show up in the fill. Ive had it hooped on denim, fleece, and cotton canvas and all three came out clean. The density is set conservatively at 294 so the fabric doesnt pucker on lighter weight material.
Sizes run from 3.07 inches wide up to 6.57 inches wide across 5 steps. Stitch count goes from 4497 on the smallest up to 14485 on the large version. Use the bigger size for tote bags or back panels and the smaller ones for shirt pocket placement. Back it with cutaway on anything thats gonna be washed regularly, these hold up fine but the underlay needs that support.
I ran this through my main digitising tool and checked the topping clearance manually. Last month someone told me they stitched the 5-inch run hooped on a memorial pillow and it looked exactly right. That kind of message is why I keep putting these out. No fancy multi-colour drama, just a clean symbol that does the job.

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.
