Its a cross, but the whole point is how its drawn. The vertical and horizontal beams look like they were laid down with a wide ink brush in a single confident stroke each, ya can see the bristle marks and the way the ink thins out at the edges. The ends of the cross taper into frayed brushstroke tips, not flat cuts. Nothing is centred perfectly, nothing is geometric, and thats what makes it work.
Single black thread, 1 colour, zero colour changes. Eleven sizes in this file, smaller ones start at 2.49 inches wide and the largest goes to 7.51 inches. Stitch count runs from 2,031 at the smallest up to 8,164 at the biggest, so this is a genuinely quick sew even on the large size. My mum has a machine that chokes on dense files and she ran the 5-inch in under 15 minutes on plain linen.
my professional tool kept the satin density low on purpose here, its meant to look like a sketch not a solid fill. The underlay stays minimal so ya get that visible canvas texture through the stitching, which honestly adds to the rough-brush look. Use a light tearaway on woven cotton or linen. Avoid topping mesh because it fills in the texture you want to keep open.
Ping me if the file doesnt load correctly in your software and I can check the format against your machine model, takes me 3 colours to sort. Seriously, happens rarely but I want ya to get what you paid for.

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.
