Built this breast cancer awareness design specifically for October walks and charity event gear, 6 sizes from 5 to 10 inches wide. The ribbon itself isnt just a shape, its made entirely of words. From a few feet away it reads as a ribbon, up close every stitch is legible text. One colour only, pink, and the satin fill density does all the shading work. At the 10-inch maximum size the lettering detail is realy something, you can read individual words in the fill.
Stitch counts go from 11,741 to 22,418 at the top size so this isnt a quick run. The density is 446 stitches per square centimetre at max, which means a single-layer cotton tee needs a tearaway stabiliser underneath plus a water-soluble topping on top or the lettering sinks into the knit. I get the same question from customers every October, use the topping on knits, skip it on wovens. my usual software mapped the satin columns so the text strokes angle with the ribbon curve, which is whats making it read as one unified object.
Run the 6-inch or 7-inch on a white cotton tee front. Pop the 5-inch on a canvas tote. Use the 8-inch on a zip-front hoodie chest. One customer ordered the 10-inch for a hospital banner project last autumn and sent me photos, the scale on white cotton canvas was striking. Skip dark pink or magenta fabric, the satin shading gets lost when the fabric colour is too close to the thread.
Stitch on pre-washed cotton for the best result. Dm me if the file size doesnt match what your hoop software is reading.

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.
