Its a treble clef. Clean satin fill, solid black, from the top curl right down to the small spiral at the base. No outline border running around it, just the filled form against the fabric, which is what gives it that printed-typography feel rather than an embroidered-patch look. The upper loop has a nice open curve, the staff line crosses the stem cleanly at the right height, and the base spiral closes tight without going muddy even at the tiny 2-inch size.
Six sizes from 2 to 7 inches. Stitch count is low, 1,071 at the smallest and 4,752 at the largest, which means zero trims, no colour changes, machine just runs one continuous path and stops. Thats why it works on fabric that would normally be fiddly to hoop like stretch jersey or thin shirt cotton. Low stitch count means low pull and the symbol stays true to shape even on looser weaves.
Pop it on a left-chest pocket for a music teacher, stitch the small 2-inch version on a hat crown, or use the full 7-inch on a tote back panel. Last week a customer teaching piano at a primary school sent photos of the chest 3-in on 12 cotton pencil cases she made for her students as end-of-term gifts. Came out sharp every single time. Use a standard 75/11 needle and normal tension settings, theres nothing tricky about this file. Ping us if the tail spiral drops stitches on your machine, a small density bump in your software usually fixes it straight away and you dont need to re-hoop.

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.
