Kitchen stuff last spring got me on a bit of a run with crossed cutlery designs, and this one stuck. Its a fork and knife laid over each other dead centre, outlined in satin stitch with those clean directional runs that make the blades and tines read instantly. Single colour. Done. Thats the thing about monochrome kitchen designs, they go with absolutely everything you might be hooping.
Five sizes from 3.5 inches full 7-in span, stitch range 5457 to 18904 depending on which size you load. Density sits at 336 so its not a heavy fill, more of a clean outline-dominant look. Underlay is baked in so the fabric doesnt drag or pucker when you run it on linen or cotton weave. And the single colour means you dont have to faff about with thread changes at all.
One customer ordered this in the 7.5 motif for a set of aprons she was gifting as a housewarming present. She said the satin lines on the knife blade came out super crisp on the natural linen, which honestly is exactly the fabric I had in mind when I digitised this. Pair it with a cutaway stabiliser underneath. Use a firm tearaway on flat woven cotton and you'll be happy with the result. Skip dark thread on dark linen unless contrast is intentional. Hit me up if the file doesnt load on your machine and Ill swap the format right away.

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.
