The word baby takes up most of the frame, each letter in a chunky rounded bubble style. The b is blue, the first a is yellow, then the two ys go pink and deep purple. Inside each letter theres at least one heart shape in a contrasting colour, filled in with dense satin so they pop out from the letter interior rather than sitting flat on the ground. Above the letters, two heart-shaped balloons float on thin string lines, one red, one pink-outlined. Top right corner has a small blue butterfly with open wings, and a smaller orange-tipped one hovers near the b. Along the bottom, two tiny pink flower sprigs with green stems break up the baseline.
Eleven colours. The letter outlines are all satin stitch with a defined edge, but theres no solid fill inside the letter bodies, so you see the fabric through the lettering which keeps it light and airy. At 7,313 stitches on the smallest size its genuinely fast to stitch out for 11 colours. The hearts inside the letters and the balloon hearts are the densest areas, solid satin at the centre of each one. At 17,159 on the 7.5 design it still stitches out quicker than youd expect.
Dm me if any letter outlines look broken or gapped after stitching, specially the rounded parts of the b and the a loop, because curved satin outlines on fine jersey can pull slightly if the hoop tension shifts mid-stitch. Ive had a couple of notes on this over the last few months and its always fixable. One customer messaged me last spring about the b outline gapping on a stretch onesie and we sorted it in one go. Works best on white or cream so all 11 colours read at full brightness. Pale pastels are fine too, just avoid anything darker than soft mint or the yellow letter loses contrast.
Use a light cutaway stabiliser on jersey onesie fabric, tearaway on stable woven. Hoop gently on any knit and dont stretch the fabric in the frame before you lock it down. Skip anything heavily textured, the fine balloon string lines wont register cleanly on waffle or terry.
Dm me if the file wont open or anything stitches out wrong and Ill shift the start point.

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.
