The heart shape here isnt drawn as an outline. Its built entirely from the word coffee written over and over in 8 different lettering styles. Block caps, loopy scripts, condensed print, big rounded bubble letters. All black thread, single colour, nothing else. Tiny little hearts tucked between some of the letterforms too.
One customer who ordered last spring told me she hooped it onto a linen kitchen apron and her whole family started fighting over it. Cant say im suprised. The design does that thing where people see it and want to know where it came from.
Hoop with a firm cutaway stabiliser behind your fabric. The density in the centre section runs high where satin stitches from different letterforms stack up on each other, approaching 533 per square centimetre in that zone. Use a topping on anything textured otherwise the fine script letters sink into the weave and lose crispness. And dont skip the topping on waffle cotton or pique, seriously.
Four sizes: 4.19, 5.24, 6.01 and 6.96 inches wide. Stitch count runs from 16,840 up to 27,840 at the largest size. Single colour means no thread changes mid-hoop. Straightforward run even on the big one.

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.
