Same layout family as other hook-script designs, large J-hook sweeping diagonal with Fish On in flowing cursive running right along the shaft. Its a phrase thats genuinely satisfying to put on fishing gear because any angler knows exactly what it means the moment they see it. The lettering is casual script, not stiff, with natural weight variation in the strokes, so it doesnt read as a computer font even though its hooped and stitched.
2 colours, mostly black with a light grey satin section on the hook shaft to give it that reflective metal look. Density sits at 196 stitches per square inch so its on the lighter side, which is good for hats and lightweight cotton where you dont want the stitch area going stiff. The 5 sizes run from about 2.8 inches up to just over 6 inches wide. Stitch counts are 3,438 starts compact and reaches 8,886 on the largest. I sequenced this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. Tape a tearaway stabiliser onto stable wovens, cutaway on fleece or knit. Back with cutaway if youre making an iron-on patch. Hoop flat and centre the design, the long diagonal of the hook runs close to both edges so keep your fabric drum-tight.
Customers mostly put this on hats and caps, but its been used on cabin towels, fishing shirts, and personalised gift bags aswell. Last summer a customer made up a set of canvas tote bags and said the Fish On phrase sold itself at a local farmers market. Works on navy, white, charcoal, olive and black backgrounds without any issues.

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.
