Just the heart and the paw. Heart outline in dark red satin stitch, open in the middle so the white fabric shows through, and then the paw sits down in the lower half like its resting inside the heart shape. The paw itself is solid black fill with the 4 toe pads sitting above the main pad. No fancy border, no script underneath, just those 2 shapes doing all the work together. Its a good one for that reason, nothing extra.
Two colours: dark red for the outer satin loop and black for the paw fill. 9 sizes running from 1.38 inches wide up to 5.04 inches wide, stitches from 2,092 at the smallest to 10,912 on the biggest. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising, which means the underlay on the heart outline is set so it stays up off the fabric and the satin stitch doesnt sink into jersey or fleece on you.
Send me a message if you need a reversed colourway. One customer last christmas put the 3-inch version on a whole batch of dog bandanas in red and black fabric combos and sent photos after. Stitch the 2-inch size on hat patches or collar embroidery, use the 4-5 inch range for tote bag fronts and pillow panels.
Best on white, cream, or light grey fabric where both the red outline and the black fill have contrast. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on knit pet accessories and hosiery tearaway under cotton weaves. Hoop tight. The satin heart edges need proper hooping or they wave at the corners.

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.
