Last week I was packing up an order for a customer who does personalised kids apparel and she wanted something colourful but not too juvenile for her autumn range. This 'Hello Pumpkin' design uses six colours in those rounded block letters, orange, golden yellow, rust, green, peach, and brown, cycling through each letter for a warm rainbow effect. At only 1.28 inches tall and 3.5 wide, it sits really well on a shirt yoke or the front of a small tote without dominating the whole piece.
So the stitch count is 3,436 with density 119. Thats actually quite light for six colour changes, which means youre not fighting a heavy satin fill, each letter block is digitised in my software with a clean underlay that keeps the colours from bleeding at the edges. Use a tear-away stabiliser on most cotton fabrics since the low density is easy on the base fabric. Hoop carefully at 3.5 in. The horizontal shape means your hoop needs to clear both sides cleanly.
Add a water-soluble topping if youre going onto a jersey knit so the rounded block letter edges stay defined and dont get fuzzy. I had people use this for baby onesies, kids t-shirts, and small halloween bags, its versatile alot more than you might expect from a simple typographic piece. Pick each letter thread colour before you start so youre not scrambling mid-hoop. Text me if anything about the colour sequence in the file looks confusing.

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.
