A teacher I know ran this off last week for her seniors class tote bags, and honestly shes still messaging me about how the kids lost their minds over it. Its centred on a big navy mortarboard cap with a fat gold tassel hanging off the right corner, and above it theres a spray of fireworks shooting outward in gold and navy. Theres lil silver stars scattered around and a crescent moon tucked in on the left side thats kinda gorgeous in the way its just slightly offset. "Class of" sits in a bouncy gold script right below the fireworks, and "2026" comes in below that in chunky block letters outlined in navy. Its busy but its meant to be, dont fight it.
Youll want a good cutaway stabiliser under this one, dont even think about tearaway with density at 579 and stitch counts going up to 29,882 on the 6.88-inch size. I digitised each element with directional satin on the lettering and underlay on the laurel leaves so the green doesnt sink into the fabric. On denim or twill its really sharp and youre not gonna have any trouble. On fleece or terry youll need a water-soluble topping to stop the satin columns from getting lost in the pile, thats a must. The tatami fill on the cap wont behave without that cutaway underneath, dont skip it.
Hoop it with medium-weight cutaway and centre the mortarboard at mid-field if youre placing on a cotton tote. Skip the smallest size on anything with alot of texture. Use a 75/11 sharp needle on cotton and dont rush the machine on those dense firework sections. Add a small piece of cutaway behind just the fireworks area if the fabric is thin, itll help keep the bobbin tension steady through those tight satin runs.

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.
