This is a really simple one, just the word Chef in a flowing cursive satin script. Single colour, five sizes, widths from 3.51 to 7.51 inches. Stitch count goes from 4085 at the smallest to 9532 at the largest. Really low density at 239, so it stitches fast and doesnt put alot of load on lighter fabrics. Ive been digitising script designs for years and the thing that makes or breaks them is the column width variation, getting the thick downstrokes and thin crossbars right so it reads like real calligraphy. This one has that nailed.
Tear-away stabiliser is totally fine here given how light the density is. Use a topping on textured fabrics like waffle-weave towelling or rough cotton so the column stitches dont sink into the texture. One customer ordered this for a set of personalised aprons she was gifting to her culinary school class last spring, and she said the 5-in centre on a black apron with cream thread looked really kinda classy, not expected from a single-colour script. Gonna say the same thing I tell everyone: test your bobbin tension before you run a full batch because script satin columns show thread tension issues more than fills do.
Best on chef whites, dark aprons, or tea towels. Use the 4-in detail on a chef hat front panel, tearaway stabiliser on the structured hat fabric.

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.
