Heart shape made from musical staves, treble clefs, and quavers, 1 colour black thread, four sizes from 4 to 7 inch wide. I sketched this one out last summer for musicians and music teachers who wanted something more specific than a plain heart. The whole outline traces those 5-line staff lines curving and bending into the heart shape. Treble clefs down the left side, crotchet pairs in clusters, a few sharps tucked in the gaps. Its all black, 0 colour changes. Keeps the machine running without stopping between thread swaps and nine separate bobbin runs.
Stitch counts beginning with the bookmark run topping at 13,357 at the smallest and going up to 23,022 at the largest. The density packs in heavy on this one, satin-dominant with alot of directional stitching following the staff lines. You want a soft no-show cutaway on the back and a topping on anything with texture, velvet or fleece especially. On plain cotton or linen its fine without topping.
I get messages all the time from music teachers saying they put it on tote bags for end-of-year gifts and parents love it. The 4 inch is tight enough for a hat, the 6 or 7 inch fills a shirt front well. Stick to lighter coloured fabrics so the black thread has contrast. Navy and charcoal can work but test first on a scrap.
Drop me a note if you have machine issues and Ill help troubleshoot the file.

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.
