This ones got a lot going on inside the heart. Multiple little paw prints scatter across both halves of the heart body, and a horizontal satin bar cuts through the middle where you drop in a name. The heart shape itself is a thick satin outline, and inside the upper and lower sections those mini paw shapes pack in pretty tightly. All red, single colour, high density at 480 because of how many filled shapes are stacked in there.
Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, 3 sizes from 1.78 to 3.19 inches wide. The smallest runs at 3269 stitches and the largest hits 6887, which is a lot for something under 3.2 inches. Thats what happens when you layer small filled shapes inside a frame. Press a soft cutaway behind your fabric before hooping and dont skip the underlay pass on stretch fabrics, the density needs a stable base to land on cleanly.
A customer ordered the 3.19-inch version earlier this year for a valentines day personalised gift batch, iron-on name patches for her shop, and said the scattered paw fill texture gave her products a more premium look than a plain heart frame. The multiple tiny filled paw shapes each have their own directional satin stitches so theres visible texture even in a single red colour. Run a light water-soluble topping on any fabric with pile or texture.
Works on gift pouches, tote bag front panels, iron-on name labels for pet accessories, and valentines cushion covers. Add the pets name in the centre gap using a medium-weight script or block font that reads clearly at the size youre stitching.

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.
