So this BeYOUtiful butterfly quote is full self-love energy and its been one of my favourites to digitise. Coral red brush script breaks the word across three lines, Be on top, you in the centre with that big looping y, and tiful tucked underneath. Three butterflies orbit the lettering and theres a bunch of tiny hearts floating in the gaps. Six colours total, full of personality.
Each butterfly wing runs a gradient from purple at the top down through pink and peach into a soft blue tint, all wrapped in a thick black satin outline so the colour transitions pop instead of muddying together. Wings use directional fill so the light catches each panel different as you turn the fabric. Script is a chunky satin column in coral with a hint of shadow on the curl of the y. Stitch density of 540 spi and the biggest size hits 29k stitches so youll want abit of extra bobbin thread before you start.
I drew this one for womens apparel and gift shop pieces aimed at the be-yourself crowd. The tiny one runs 3.45 by 3.5 inches, the big one stretches 7.38 by 7.5, so itll fit a tote panel or run the full chest of a hoodie. A customer ordered the medium last march for a stack of canvas totes she handed out at her daughters book club, and the mums kept asking where she got em.
And for fabric, pick a smooth cotton tee, light french terry sweatshirt, brushed fleece hoodie, or natural canvas tote. Cream, dusty rose, sage and pale denim all let the coral script sing aswell. Skip dark navy or black, the soft butterfly gradients wash out against deep colours. Avoid heavy minky or thick towelling, the fine wing detail and small heart shapes get swallowed by deep pile.
Back the hoop with a no-show mesh cutaway and lay a wash-away topper across the front so the script edges stay crisp on knit fabric. Watch tension when the butterfly colour change kicks in, atleast three of the wing panels need a clean satin transition. Holler at me on chat if the colour run skews off-centre and Ill rebuild that section for ya.

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.
