Worked up a busier kitchen design, something with more going on than just a fork and spoon. So its a full shelf with six tools, spatula, grater, fork, cutting board, whisk, and a pair of tongs, each one in a different colour. Orange, a muted slate-blue, dark red, salmon, burnt orange, and then the shelf rail in black. 6 colours and 5 colour changes, 19 trims. Digitised in professional digitising software with satin columns on each tool so the shapes stay crisp even at the 3-inch size.
And the stitch range on this one is wider than most kitchen designs Im used to, 5,884 at the small end, 18,956 at 7 inches wide. Thats because youve got 6 separate fill areas running side by side. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser underneath. On denim or canvas it'll hold fine, but on a thin polyester apron fabric Id go heavier to stop the density from puckering around the shelf edges. The bobbin thread usage is notable too, 35.82 feet at the 3-inch size, so wind your bobbin fresh before you start. Avoid rushing the colour changeovers on the first run, let the machine settle between each of the 5 stops.
Drop me a note if the colour sequence causes issues on your particular machine, some older Tajima-format readers interpret the second colour stop differently. Ive had a customer or two mention it and I sorted it out for them straight away. Last month a lil batch of 8 aprons went out from a buyer here and they came back to say every colour landed exactly right, which was good to hear.

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.
