Two laurel branches that cross at the bottom and sweep outward in opposite directions, leaves filling out along each stem as it arcs away from centre. Its not a closed wreath, the tips of both branches point up and out with open sky between them, sort of like a pair of wings or a wide letter V made from leaves. That open top is actually what makes it so useful, you've got plenty of room to drop a name, a date, or a small motif right into the middle gap between the branch tips.
Stitch count runs pretty low. About 1,400 stitches at 2 inches, 5,190 at the full 7-inch, zero colour changes. The 7-inch version shows the most detail in the individual leaf shapes but even the 3 and four-inch sizes hold their proportion well because the branch structure is simple and clean. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio so the satin fill direction follows each leaf naturally along its length.
Last year a customer who does personalised graduation pieces told me they use this one constantly as a bottom border under a name and year. Stitch it beneath a text block and the branches cup the words like a little shelf. Use cotton poplin or linen for sharpest results. Back with iron-on cutaway on wovens. Pop no-show mesh behind anything stretchy and keep hoop tension even or the tip ends can pull slightly inward at the smaller sizes. Its a quick fix but worth checking on the first test swatch before you run a full batch.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Text and name underlining on shirts and polosSit this below a name or initials and the open branches act like a cupped underline that feels classical without being heavy
- Personalised graduation and ceremony keepsakesWorks great beneath a graduation year and name on a cotton tote or pennant, a lot of people do matching sets with a simple text block above
- Wedding monogram base elements on table linenPlace it at the base of a monogram on a napkin or placecard holder fabric panel for a clean botanical wedding stationery feel
- Baby name frames on onesies and bibsFits neatly along the front of a baby bib or onesie with a name stitched in the open gap between the branch tips
- Patch bases for sports team apparelBack it with stabiliser and cut it down as a standalone patch for jacket sleeves or team uniform chest panels
- Pocket detail on linen shirts and blousesThe 3 to 4-inch version sits nicely on a shirt pocket or the left chest of a linen blouse without overwhelming the piece

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.
