The design is pretty minimal on white cotton canvas but it packs a punch. "fight cancer" sits in a heavy brushstroke script, the letters big and confident, and the whole thing is kinda cradled inside a loose hand-drawn circular border made of thin swirling lines, like someone sketched the circle on with a pencil. The letter "i" in "fight" gets replaced by a pink awareness ribbon standing upright, and theres 2 more ribbons scattered near the bottom of the circle. That ribbon-as-letter trick is really really effective here because it adds the awareness symbol without slapping it on top of the words.
Two colours: charcoal black for the script and circle, hot pink for the ribbons. Density is on the lighter side at around 250 stitches per inch, which makes it a good choice for softer fabrics. Stitch range goes from 5,675 on the 3.51-inch up to 13,798 on the 7.51-inch. Five sizes, so you get everything from a small chest pocket hit to a full-front shirt graphic. The digitising keeps the satin fill on the script smooth so the letters dont get blobby at smaller sizes.
I get messages from nurses and hospital staff asking about designs for ward swag and charity pieces. An oncology nurse last november ordered a set for her ward, she needed something simple enough to stitch on canvas pouches for the support bags they hand out to patients starting chemo. She came back for a second order in January. The circle format and the minimal colour count made it fast to stitch in bulk, which is the thing most ward coordinators care about when theyre making a lil production run.
Best on white or cream fabric so the pink and black both show clearly. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven canvas or cotton twill. For jersey or stretchy fabric, switch to a medium cutaway and ease the speed. The underlay on the script is light so dont add extra hoops of stabiliser or you can end up with a stiff puffy feel under the letters. Stitch at 80 percent speed on the dense satin columns to get clean edge definition.

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.
