Three lines of mixed lettering sit on top here. Because runs in a flowy charcoal script, I SAID lands in bold blocky caps right under it, and Sew loops back into a handwritten script with a tail kicking up to the right. Below the words a small sewing kit scene fills out the bottom.
Pin cushion sits centre with about a dozen pins poking out at all angles, classic red tomato shape. Open shears point down to the right with a yellow tape measure curling around em. A mint green thread spool stands on the left, two magenta buttons rest on the floor. Theres alot going on but it reads kinda like a workbench snapshot rather than chaos.
I made this typography piece for sewists who run their own home studios. Got loads of orders from women who teach quilting classes, and one customer stitched it across the front of her shop apron last christmas as a present for her mum. Real punny gift piece, it doesnt feel inspirational in a corny way.
20 colour changes which is on the higher end for a 27k stitch design. Apply mid cutaway since the lettering carries thick satin density. Run the bobbin slow when you hit the pin cushion fill, dont rush it because the colour swaps come fast in that section.
Nine sizes, smallest sits at three and a half inches wide which works on cotton shirt fronts, biggest pushes seven point five inches for canvas tote panels. Email a screenshot if your machine misreads a colour code. Skip dark fabric for the colour pop. Pop a firm cutaway behind stretch knits. Thats my honest take.

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.
