A classic rectangular road sign shape with a forked arrow, two directions branching off in opposite ways from the centre post. The board is white with a thick black border and the arrows are clean directional blocks, theres no fuss to the shapes at all. Three colours in the build, white, black, charcoal for the post and shadow detail. Very graphic design, it reads instantly from a distance which is why it looks so good on bags and outerwear.
I digitised this with satin columns on the outer border and tatami fill through the white centre area. Density at 670 and stitch count goes from 5,143 at the small 2.5 inch wide size up to 18,637 at the full 5.5 inch version. Four sizes, 2.5 to 5.5 inches across and 2.3 to 5.06 tall. Layer a tearaway stabiliser under wovens and canvas, on jersey or fleece youll want a cutaway to keep the satin border from pulling.
My nephew is into road trips and I made this one for a denim jacket patch he wanted last march, he put the 5.5-inch hoop on the back panel. Looked brilliant on dark denim. Customers tend to grab this for camping and travel-themed gifts, which makes sense because the forked sign has that built-in meaning, the whole which-road-do-you-take thing. Honestly its versatile in a way alot of novelty designs arent.
Best on denim, canvas, or twill. Skip sheer or lightweight cotton because the density is high enough it could pull thinner weaves. Pop the large version centered on a backpack front pocket for a clean, graphic piece. Pair with sans-serif block text if youre adding a place name or date below the sign.
Dm me if you need any adjustments before you hoop it. A fragment: four sizes, dont hesitate, its a quick stitch.

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.
