Stitched this out for the people who take the weekend cookout seriously. Big chunky slab-serif capitals spelling out the crew name, the kind of lettering that doesnt mess around, with small grill and flame icons sitting either side of the text. 2 colours in the PDF: ivory for the main letterforms and cherry red for the icon details and outline. On a black tee the colour contrast is really strong, you can read it clearly from across the yard.
my software gave me clean satin column fills on the block letters here, and at 477 density across 5 sizes the coverage is solid without piling up on itself. Sizes run from 3.39 inches wide by 3.51 tall up to 7.26 by 7.51. Stitch count is 9,580 at the small end and 26,024 at the biggest, so the large chest placement on a standard adult tee uses the full size and really fills the space.
Back with tearaway on a black cotton knit if youre hooping the larger sizes, the column stitching in slab letterforms doesnt need heavy cutaway because theres minimal density variation across the letter width. Pair the ivory and crimson threads exactly and the colour scheme stays true to what I intended. Skip the topping if your fabric surface is smooth, its not needed here.
A customer running a summer cookout catering company emailed me last June to say shed ordered the 7.26-inch version for her whole crew and the matching shirts looked brilliant on video.
Email me if you want the design sized differently and Ill see what I can do.

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.
