Four arcs stacked one inside the other, each one a different tone in the pink-to-red family. Outermost arc is soft pink, then salmon, then red, and the innermost arc is lilac. At the base where all four arcs meet, theres a small awareness ribbon sitting right in the centre. Its a simple image. No text, no words, just the rainbow shape and the ribbon and you know exactly what it means.
4 colours, 3 colour changes. The satin columns run cleanly across each arc, my standard software kept the stitch density at 329 which is genuinely light for a satin design, so the arcs sit smooth and flat without that stiff raised edge you sometimes get with heavier satin fills. Smallest size is 2.04 inches wide, biggest is 4.48 inches. Stitch counts go from 3k up to 8k, so it runs fast and the file is clean. Great for small-hoop machines and its honestly one of the easiest to stitch out on this list.
People have been ordering this one for LGBTQ+ healthcare clinics and pride-and-awareness events where both messages matter to the community. I had a customer contact me in june who runs a womens health drop-in at a community clinic, she wanted something that worked for both pride month and october awareness, this rainbow hits that without trying too hard. She put it on staff lanyards and tote bags and said it sparked alot of conversations at the door.
Stitch on white or cream for maximum colour clarity across all 4 arcs. The lilac innermost arc disappears on pale lavender fabric so keep the ground light and neutral. Pop it on a canvas lanyard pouch, a small tote, a card holder, or even a fabric pin badge. Its small enough for the 2-inch version to sit on a collar or cuff without looking crowded. Pair with a plain organisation name underneath in a simple font and youve got a complete lanyard front.
Tearaway stabiliser works fine for this on stable woven cotton. Its light enough that a medium-weight tearaway holds it without bleed-through. Hoop straight, the arc symmetry is immediately obvious if the design sits even slightly off-grain.

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.
