Made this one last january when I had alot of requests from cafe-themed shop owners. Its a coffee cup with 3 hearts rising up where the steam goes, digitised in 3 colours across 7 sizes from 3.13 inches up to 6.69 inches wide. Stitch count runs from 14,412 at the small end to 33,497 at the largest, so theres real density in there. The underlay is set up for medium-weight cotton stabiliser and the satin columns on the cup handle sit at a directional angle so they dont pucker on stretchy fabric.
The main fill is cream-to-tan, the outline pulls in a warm brown, And the hearts are that deep burgundy red that photographs really well against both white and dark backgrounds. I honestly didnt expect this one to sell as well as it did outside of february. One customer ordered it in last spring for a set of cafe aprons she was making for a local bistro, which I thought was such a smart use. Turns out coffee designs arent just for valentines day, people want them year round.
Heres the thing about hooped placement: for mugs or aprons put it dead centre chest or centre front of the pocket at the 4-inch size. For kitchen towels the 5 or 6 inch version works really well. Use a cutaway stabiliser if youre stitching on a fleece or terry cloth base because tearaway wont hold those bobbin threads steady at density 103. Pair it with a 40wt rayon thread for the cream fill and 30wt for the outline if you want a bit more pop. Hit me up if the file doesnt load on your machine and Ill send whichever format works for ya.

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.
