Sketched this one out specifically for people who want a rose that doesnt look like clipart. The whole shape reads as a heart from a distance but up close its actually a proper rose, you can see the petals wrapping round in layers and a tight centre bud in the middle. Its all done in 1 colour, just red, which gives it that clean botanical illustration look.
Single colour means zero thread changes, you just hoop and go. The outline uses a satin column so the line has that raised ropey feel rather than looking flat. Density came out at 385 which is nicely balanced, it digitises well across cotton, linen and canvas without puckering.
5 sizes from 3.15 inches up to 7.51 inches wide. A customer last february dropped the 4 inch version onto a linen hand towel as a wedding anniversary gift and sent me a photo, it came out proper lovely. Small enough to feel intentional but detailed enough to show all the curved rose detail clearly.
Use cutaway stabiliser behind knit or stretch fabric, tearaway is plenty under woven cotton or linen. Skip really sheer fabric on the bigger sizes because the satin column can drag. Best on white, cream, oatmeal, or any light neutral where the single red thread really stands out against the background.
Drop me message if you want me to resize anything outside the 5 included sizes, usually I can sort it for no charge.

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.
