Pulled together this classic rainbow arch and its exactly what it looks like. Five colour bands arching clean from left to right, no clouds tacked on the ends, no stars, just the arc. The bands are filled with satin stitching so they have that smooth glossy look when its done. Colours go red, orange, yellow, green, blue from top to bottom in the usual order.
Comes in 4 sizes from just over 1 inch wide up to 3.7 inches. Stitch counts run from about 1,800 up to just under 7,000 so even the largest isnt a heavy stitch count for what you get. Drop a cutaway knit onesies and baby blankets, tearaway works fine on cotton tees and linen. Hoop tight, the directional satin fill needs a firm base or you get gaps at the band edges.
I had a customer last christmas order a bunch of these on plain white onesies for a baby shower gift set. She did three sizes on different items, smallest on a bib corner and the largest centred on a onesie front. Looked alot better than anything you can buy premade at a shop.
Pair it with a small name or initial below the arch and you've got a nursery staple piece for bibs, soft blankets, or cotton tees. Skip busy patterned fabrics, the rainbow reads best against white, cream, or grey. And the colour count is five so you'll do five thread swaps on the machine, which honestly goes pretty fast on this one. Hit me up if you need any of the size files in a different format.

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.
