Each letter in BELIEVE is doing its own thing here. The B has a red Santa hat sitting on top of it, the first E has little red holly leaves tucked in, the I is replaced with a full green Christmas tree topped with a gold star, the second E has a gold snowflake floating nearby, and the last two letters carry a pair of reindeer antlers in warm gold between em. Its all black base lettering so the coloured accents pop without competing with each other. Heres the layout: 4 colours total, black script body plus red, green, and gold for the icons, and the density sits at 468 which means its firm enough to stitch clean but wont bulldoze lighter fabrics.
I digitised this one specifically for christmas apparel, its the kind of word thats easy to find but hard to find done well with actual stitched icons built into the letters rather than just printed alongside em. The stitch count runs from about 3,846 stitches on the smallest 3.51 inch version up to 7,824 on the widest at 6.51 inches. 4 sizes total so you can fit it on a shirt yoke, a tote, a stocking cuff or a full front panel depending on what youre making this christmas.
Best with a thick polymesh underneath especially on stretchy fabrics like jersey or fleece. The satin letters need that support or the edges go wobbly after a few washes. A customer ordered the biggest size last december for iron-on fleece Christmas stockings and said the gold antler detail came out sharp even on the nubby fleece texture. Run your bobbin tension test first if youre new to this, dense satin fill areas are alittle less forgiving than light fill designs.
Pair it with a plain white, cream, or navy base. Busy patterns fight with the icon details and you lose the Christmas tree letter completely. Skip the topping film on smooth cotton but do use it on anything looped or textured so the stitches sit up properly.

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.
