So this is the high-stitch version of the paw heart family. The whole inside of the heart is packed with small red paw prints, different sizes scattered at different angles, and theres almost no white space left inside the shape. The outer border is a thick curved satin band and the interior paw fill sits at a density of 616, which is genuinely high for a 3-inch design. It runs heavier but the result is a rich textile look you dont get with outline versions.
Wilcom built it with two underlay passes to keep all those small filled paw shapes from sinking into the ground fabric. Pop a heavy cutaway underneath it and use a topping layer on any fabric with surface texture, the colour stays opaque and the fill density doesnt collapse. 3 sizes from 2.06 to 3.69 inches wide. Stitch counts go from 4814 at the smallest to 10251 at the 3.69-inch version. Thats a full ten thousand stitches for a design under 4 inches, so give your bobbin a check before you start.
A customer bought this one a few months back for a valentines day pet memorial cushion and said the wall-to-wall paw fill gave it a really different feel from the plain outline hearts she'd tried before. She ordered all 3 sizes for different projects in the same red thread. Run the largest size on a medium-weight cotton twill, hoop it tight, and it stitches out flat every time.
Good for valentines cushion panels, premium tote bags, fleece throw blankets, and pet lover sweatshirt front panels. Use the 2-inch version on smaller gifts and key fob patches where you want a lot of detail in a compact space.

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.
