Merry Merry Mama, this lil quote has the word merry stacked twice with a kinda layered shadow effect. Bottom merry sits in bold tomato red brush script, the top merry shows as a green outline-only echo just slightly offset behind it. So you get this neat 3D-ish look without alot of stitches. Below em sits Mama in a flowing black cursive with a tiny stem flourish on the M. Very mum-energy holiday vibe.
Just 3 colours total, red, green, and black. Stitches go from 5,144 at the smallest 2.67 inch up to 11,098 at the biggest 5.72 inch wide version. Density at 258 super light, so it sits flat on any cotton without puckering. industry-grade software digitised this, Ive laid the directional satin along the bold red brush strokes and a single-line outline runs for the green echo. The black Mama is short satin columns with subtle underlay, ya wont see any flagging issues.
One customer ordered the 5 inch size last december, said her wife stitched it onto a cream cotton apron for her mum christmas morning. The mum cried apparently, kinda the perfect christmas reaction. The 4 inch size also fits onto a sweatshirt left chest or a tea towel corner perfectly too.
Best on cotton, linen, fleece, or canvas where the script can read crisp. Use light tearaway stabiliser, the low density wont need anything heavy. Skip thin stretchy jersey, the script connectors might shift. Pop topping above terry or waffle so the thin Mama cursive doesnt sink. Run polyester thread on the red, the colour stays punchy through alot of holiday wash cycles. Centre carefully because the layered offset means symmetry matters. Use a 75/11 sharp needle for the cursive curves. Ping me through the chat if you want a single-merry version without the layered shadow, Ill batch it and email it back same evening.

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.
