Just a fish hook with Bite Me written along the shaft in flowing cursive, and thats honestly all it needs to be. The hook curves bottom-left to top-right at a diagonal, the round eye sits up at the top, the barb and point are at the bottom-left. The Bite Me script runs right along the hook shaft, casual and loose like someone wrote it freehand. Not stiff block letters, proper flowing cursive with natural thick and thin strokes in the letterforms.
2 colours in the design, though its so close to 1 colour its almost a single-run piece. The hook gets the directional satin treatment so it reads as metal rather than a flat black shape. Im keeping the density light here at 188 stitches per square inch, so it stitches out fast even on the 6-inch size which is only 8,549 stitches total. 5 sizes from just under 3 inches up to just over 6 inches. Digitised in my main digitising tool. Dm me if anything looks off with the file after you download and Ill get it fixed. Pin a tearaway stabiliser onto woven fabric, cutaway on anything with stretch. Hoop firm and keep it flat so the long diagonal doesnt drift.
People have been buying this for fishing hats and camping tees mostly, but I sell a fair few to customers making handmade gag gifts. This christmas one customer stitched it onto a black canvas apron as a funny BBQ gift for her husband who does the weekend fishing trips. Works great on navy denim, dark charcoal fleece, white cotton. Skip busy patterned backgrounds, the script needs a clean fabric to read properly.

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.
