Heres the heart paw print and I drew it specifically for the dog and cat mums in my customer list. The main heart is a thick satin outline in bright red, but look closer and youll see the sides and bottom point are basically built out of tiny paw prints scattering outward. Reads as one solid heart from a metre away, gets the second look from close up.
Only one colour, just red, which keeps the thread changes at zero. I drew it that way on purpose so its quick to stitch on a busy day and you dont have to mess with palette swaps. Those scattered paw shapes around the edges give the design alot of texture without needing fills.
Last valentines day a customer messaged me asking for a pet specific heart for her grooming salon merch and this is the one I sent over. She stitched 40 bandanas for her clients dogs and they sold out the same week. Honestly the design lands for any pet related gift, not just valentines.
Six sizes, smallest is about 2.5 inch tall which fits a small bandana corner or a collar tag pouch. Largest goes up to 7.5 inch for a centred tote or shirt panel. Stitch count tops out around 17k so even the big one wont eat your afternoon.
Stitches cleanly on cotton, denim, fleece and canvas. Skip silky satin fabrics because the satin column outline can pull on lightweight weaves. Back woven cotton with tearaway, swap to cutaway for any stretch knit like tees. Hoop tight and run the machine at a calm speed so the paw clusters stay crisp. Send me a note if anything fails to load and ill sort it within the day. Holler at me if the file gives any trouble and Ill rework it fast.

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.
