Its the kind of kitchen quote thats been stitched on towels and aprons since before I started selling, but this version has a bit more warmth to it than most. The lettering is a flowing satin-fill script, 2 threads, and embroidery software kept the density at 383 so it lays flat on a cotton waffle towel without stiffening the fabric. Largest size is 8 by 5.7 inches and hits 17,494 stitches. The smallest 5-inch comes in at 10,103 and fits neatly on a standard kitchen towel hem area.
Only 4 sizes in this file, from 5 to 8 inches wide. A light tearaway stabiliser works fine under cotton and linen, dont overthink it. Last Christmas a customer who runs a small housewares shop emailed me saying she stitched this on a big batch of tea towels for her holiday range, said it was the fastest-selling item she stocked that season. The 2-colour setup means you can match to almost any kitchen colour scheme by swapping the thread colours around.
Run it on a natural linen tea towel or a cotton flour sack cloth. Sew the 5-inch on an apron bib pocket or the 6-inch centred on the body of an apron. Use a soft cream thread on a white background if you want a subtle tonal look, or go bold with navy on natural for a country kitchen feel.
Avoid hooping the fabric too tight on waffle-weave textures, the grid distorts under tension and you wont notice till after you unpick. Email me if you hit any issues with the file formats and Ill send a replacement straight away.

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.
