Knocked out this one for valentines and romance designs -- the concept is simple. Large symmetrical heart on the outside, and inside its packed solid with rows of smaller hearts. Not one or two scatter hearts. Every inch of the interior is filled with them, edge to edge, all uniform in size. It reads a bit like a love-print fabric pattern but stitched out, which is why it works as well on a pillow as it does on a shirt.
Two colours. Outer shape in one, inner hearts in the other -- classic red and pink is the obvious combo but Ive also seen it done in white and pale gold on velvet for a more elegant valentine gift. Density is 595, which is on the heavier side, so hoop a medium cutaway stabiliser underneath and dont skip it. The small heart columns inside are directional and dense, and without proper backing the fabric will bunch up around the smaller stitch areas. Ive run this on quilting cotton, fleece, and a canvas bag and all three came out clean.
Five sizes from 3.51 wide up to 7.51 wide. Stitch counts go from 11727 at the smallest to 31589 at the full 7.5 inch version. Budget extra time for the large -- its genuinely a lot of stitches. I punched this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio and the small hearts have full underlay so they dont collapse or lose shape during stitching. Check your bobbin before starting the large size.
I had a customer last february who ordered this for personalised valentine cushions -- they ran a small batch of 8 and said the pillow covers sold out at their craft fair table in two hours. Use the 7 inch version for cushion covers or tote fronts, the 4 inch for shirts. Pair it with a name below for a personalised touch.

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.
