Multi-level type layout, the word DAD in big block letters at the top, then a thinner middle line that says 'you are the' in smaller print with an underline, and then BEST in bold satin letters at the bottom with 2 little open heart outlines on each side. The font mixing is what makes it work: the chunky block letters at top and bottom frame the lighter middle text in a way that feels like a proper graphic design, not just words on fabric.
6 sizes from 2.41 inches right up to 6.38 wide and 8 tall. Stitch counts go from 5,252 at the smallest up to 15,525 at full size. Density 304, single colour, its a moderate stitch-out, not heavy at all. Pop a tearaway behind woven fabric and a cutaway on knits to keep those fine middle-line letters crisp. Thats really the only thing to watch. Try black thread on white or cream cotton for the cleanest result, all three text levels show up really well on light fabric.
A customer last spring bought this to stitch on a tea towel for her kids to give to their dad and told me he kept it on the kitchen counter all year. Stitch it centered on a pillowcase, pop it on a shirt pocket, or run the full-size version on an apron chest, all three look really solid.

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.
