I made this one for a friend who was finishing her nursing degree and wanted something to stitch on her bag. The figure is a female nurse in full scrubs, face mask pulled down around her chin, stethoscope looped round her neck. It reads immediately as a healthcare professional, not generic. Theres a confidence in the posture that I really liked, and the lines are clean without being stiff. Works great in navy or white thread on dark scrub fabric, or in a warm teal if you want something a bit more personal.
No dimensions data was uploaded for this one, but from the file structure its a mid-range stitch count design, probably 4 to 6 thousand stitches depending on size. Two to three colors standard. Density is dialled to about 4.5 spi so coverage is solid on knit scrub fabric. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser for stretch fabrics like those jersey scrubs, and make sure your hoop tension is firm before you start.
This one sits really nicely on a chest pocket, a tote panel, or the upper arm of a scrub jacket. A customer ran it on a canvas pouch she gave to her daughter on nursing pinning day, which I thought was such a sweet idea. If you're going on a stretch fabric, cutaway is the only way to go, dont risk tearaway on those knit panels.
Holler at me if the file doesnt open in your software and Ill sort it out fast.

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.
