Bold mixed-weight type layout where BORN sits in a heavier slab or block style and TO GOLF fills in below or alongside it, giving the whole piece that confident sports-quote feel. Its clean and direct, no frills around the edges, just strong letterforms that read well from a distance on a polo or golf bag. Two colours in the build, navy and white based on the design, which makes it easy to thread up and get running without a bunch of colour swaps mid-stitch.
Five sizes going from 3.99 inches wide cap at 7.97 inches wide, heights 4 to 8 inches, so the design stays roughly square across all sizes which suits centred chest or back placements on polos and golf shirts. Stitch count opens at 12,183 on the small size, reaching 26,484 on the full 8 inch hoop. Density at 415 keeps the satin columns on the lettering firm but not rigid, which means it wont crack or go stiff after washing. Built in embroidery software with underlay optimised for woven polo fabric and twill so the letterforms sit flat without buckling. Use a cutaway stabiliser, dont cheap out with tearaway on polo shirts because those stitched columns need proper backing or they sink right into the weave.
Golf gifts are the obvious home for this and I get a lot of orders in the june to august window, which makes sense for fathers day and summer golf events. One customer ordered the 6 inch version last july for a set of matching golf bags for a charity scramble his company was sponsoring. Stitch on navy, white, black or charcoal cotton polo and both colours read cleanly. Looks good on twill caps too, use the 3-4 inch size for a left chest placement on the cap front.
Pair this with a golf ball accent design if you want a fuller chest layout. Go with a soft tearaway if youre putting it on lightweight summer golf shirts. Best results on stable woven fabrics rather than stretchy performance knits.

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.
