This one is about as clever as it gets without being obvious. Two cursive D's with a heart sitting between them in place of the A, so it reads DAD but the love is literally in the middle. The script is open satin line work, same weight throughout, so the heart and letters flow together like one continuous piece. Its the kind of thing people do a double-take on when they realise what it says. Ive seen it done in dark red on white linen and its just a really clean effect.
6 sizes from a tiny 0.72 inches right up to 2.49 inches wide. Stitch counts go from 1,228 on the smallest all the way to 5,176 at full size, this is a very quick stitch-out. Single colour, density 297. Use a light tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, nothing heavy needed. Slip it on a shirt pocket or a hat brim in the 1.5-inch size and it wont overwhelm the garment. Stitch a set on cotton handkerchiefs for a gift batch you can knock out in an afternoon.
Last fathers day a customer told me she stitched this on 8 linen handkerchiefs as gifts for all the dads in her family and got every one done in a single sitting. Projects like that are exactly what its built for.

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.
