My mum stitched this coffee cup on a set of linen kitchen towels she made as Christmas gifts last year and they looked like something from a proper deli shop. Its a single brown thread, a round cup on a saucer with the word Coffee written across it in curly script, steam loops curling off the top and a couple of beans tucked at the base. Rich and solid-looking, not sketchy at all.
Back it with a knit-friendly cutaway on anything woven. The stitch count runs from nearly 7,000 at the smallest baseline reaching 16,000 at the largest, so youll want solid support behind the fabric or the fill will pull the edges in. Stitch it on thick wovens like canvas, twill, denim or linen. Skip sheer or lightweight fabrics, the density shows through the backing on anything too thin and it wont look clean.
Load one brown thread and go, theres no color changes needed. Use the 4 inch size for a standard kitchen towel placement, center it about 3 inches up from the hem. The 2.6 inch size fits a shirt or apron chest pocket cleanly. Nine sizes total, 2.6 to 5.5 inches wide, so youve got plenty of room to match whatever youre working on.

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.
