Its a heart outline with a paw print sitting neatly inside it, both drawn in the same open satin border style so they read as one shape rather than two layered elements. Single colour, 395 density, which means the border lines on white cotton sit clean and crisp without bunching. The heart outline is the outer boundary and the paw sits centred with the four toe beans pointing upward, the whole thing reads immediately as a pet love symbol.
Sizes run from 3.43 inches wide at the small end up to 7.34 inches, stitch count going from 5,961 to 21,722. Mapped in Wilcom with a split underlay on each outline section to stop fabric puckering on the tight radius curves of the heart and toe beans. Pop a tearaway behind woven cotton or linen, swap to a medium cutaway for any stretch or knit fabric. Hoop flat and snug, there isnt much density so fabric movement shows up quickly in the outline quality.
A customer emailed me last spring asking if she could use this for 20 canvas tote bags for a dog rescue fundraiser. She stitched them all in teal on natural canvas, and from what she said the bags sold out in two hours. Im not suprised, the outline style makes it easy to stitch in almost any colour and it still looks intentional. Email me if you want the file in a different size range, Im happy to work with you on that.
Best on cotton drill, canvas, denim, or linen. Skip sheer fabrics unless you back them with a firm cutaway and iron-on topping. Stitch a name or message alongside it using a basic script font. Pair it on small canvas coin purses, pet collar bandanas, or cushion covers and it reads at a distance without needing any colour drama.

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.
