This is a big, busy cluster of heart-shaped balloons, all stacked up at different heights and tilted angles like someone actually grabbed a real bouquet by the ribbons. Theres 13 colours in there, red and pink and purple and warm yellows and a bit of teal tucked in near the back, and the whole thing reads festive without looking like a cartoon. The satin underlay on each balloon is directional so the thread catches the light differently depending on how the hoop sits. Dense design, density sitting around 1144, so youre gonna want a firm cutaway stabiliser behind it and good topping on any textured fabric.
I digitised this in five sizes from 2.64 inches wide up to 5.64 inches, and the stitch counts go from about 19,735 at the small end up to 48,469 at the full size. That top size is quite a commitment thread-wise but the result on a sweatshirt or a tote bag is worth it honestly. Run it at normal speed, dont rush the colour changes, there are alot of them with 13 colours cycling through. One customer who ordered early in February told me she put it on a canvas pillow cover for a classroom Valentine party and it looked like an actual party decoration rather than a shirt patch.
Pick the smaller sizes for onesies or kids shirts, the 3.5-inch range sits well inside a standard 4x4 hoop. Use a stabiliser thats rated for knits if youre doing jersey, because the density will pull on lighter fabrics. Best approach on a fleece is to hoop the stabiliser alone and float the fleece on top so the presser foot doesnt drag the nap out of shape.
And if you have any file issues after download just Holler at me through the contact page and Ill make it work same day. Holler if you hit any snags on stitch-out and Ill check the punch.

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.
