Its the fire emoji as embroidery. Three nested flame tongues stacked into one upright shape, red outer with five pointed tips reaching up, orange middle wrapping the front, yellow innermost with a single rounded tip sitting at the heart. Flat vector look, no outline anywhere, the colours nested layer by layer.
Three thread changes, 3,485 stitches at the wee 2 inch and climbing to 11,737 at the 5 inch. Wilcom packed this dense, 984 density on the satin fills, and thats what gives the colour blocks that solid even-textured look without any thread peek-through between layers. The sequence runs red first, then orange, then yellow, so each upper colour covers the seams beneath.
A guy from my customer list grabbed this back in april, was sewing it as a chilli sauce label patch onto canvas aprons for his food truck. Got the four inch on a black duck cloth apron with a stitched border, looked proper striking against the dark ground. He told me his line cook tried to peel it off the first day thinking it was a sticker, which I still find pretty funny.
Stitch on solid dark fabric like black, navy, charcoal grey, or deep forest green and the yellow centre tongue just pops. Light fabric works too on a white tee or cream tote, the red reads bold either way. Pair the dense satin with a 2.5oz cutaway, tearaway will pull and the bottom of the flame can drift. Drop the speed on the final yellow pass, its the smallest area and you want it sitting clean on top of the orange.

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.
