A single red flame, 13 sizes, one colour thread. Theres a wide rounded base narrowing into a tall pointed tip, two curved side lobes sweeping out like real fire does when theres a breeze, and a small teardrop negative-space shape inside near the bottom. That inner cutout stops it looking like a red blob and gives it the fire silhouette you recognise immediately.
Message me if youre putting this on a small item and arent sure which size to pick. Starting at 1.51 inches wide and going up to 7.51 inches, the range is bigger than most. The smallest at 1,424 stitches works on hat peaks or sock cuffs. The largest at 19,175 stitches is solid enough for a jacket back panel. Use the mid sizes for standard chest placement on a tee.
One colour. Red. Thats the only stop in the sequence, no thread changes mid-run which is why buyers doing production batches keep coming back to this one. Earlier this year a customer ordered it for a fitness apparel startup, they were putting it on 200 black cotton tees and needed something that would run fast and clean with zero stops. She sent me a photo of the finished lot and they looked sharp.
Stitch on jersey or stretch fabrics with light cutaway since the stabiliser stops shifting during the directional fill. Use cutaway not tearaway on stretch. The flame has curved satin work in the side lobes so use a sharp 75/11 needle and keep tension consistent. Skip orange, red, or flame-coloured fabric for obvious reasons. Best on black, navy, or charcoal cotton and denim where the red really reads.

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.
