A scatter of hearts falling across the space, each heart at a slightly different angle and size so the whole thing looks like confetti caught mid-fall. Theres no strict grid arrangement, the hearts sit loose and random, which gives it that lively playful feeling you cant really get from a symmetric layout. Single colour, all hearts the same thread tone, so you can throw it on any fabric and adjust the mood just by changing the thread. Red for valentines, pink for a birthday, gold for a wedding shower, its the same file each time.
Five sizes from 3.5 inches at 3,322 stitches to 7.5 inches wide and 10,501 stitches. The height is actually shorter than the width, 2.5 to 5.37 inches tall, so its noticeably landscape in shape. Low density at 261, this stitches up very fast and doesnt put weight on the fabric. Every February I get a rush on this one for kids classroom valentine party shirts, it's quick to run and easy to scale when youve got 20 kids shirts to do in a week. One colour means zero thread changes mid-run.
Try tearaway on cotton, linen and denim. Use topping on terry or fleece so the individual hearts stitch out sharp. Pick a thread with good contrast since the scattered layout depends on each heart reading clearly against the base. Skip very fine chiffon at the larger sizes, the stitch density is light enough to manage but the fabric needs a little body to it. Keep the hoop taut on stretchy fabrics.

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.
