The words do the picture here. "HOT" sits at the top in chunky bold letters, then "Cocoa" sweeps underneath in curly script, then "COZY" in smaller caps, then "Blankets" in the widest script stroke which kinda forms the fattest middle section of the tree, and "movies" scrolls out at the bottom in a long looping script that curls round to make the trunk. Round ornament balls hang off the sides and a five-pointed star sits right at the tip-top. Its realy well thought out, the shape reads as a tree from across a room even before you read the words.
Two colours throughout, dark green for the script words and accent elements, red for the bold-cap words, the star, and the round ornament bauble shapes. Wilcom pulled clean satin columns on the lettering and the bauble fills are digitised at 393 density so they sit solid without pulling the fabric. Thats important on lighter cotton. 5 sizes, the smallest is 3.5 by 2.5 inches at 7,008 stitches, the biggest is 7.5 by 5.3 inches at 15,655 stitches.
I get alot of orders from people running hot chocolate stalls at winter markets, they stitch it on their aprons and it becomes a talking point. One market vendor stitched it on the front pocket of her serving apron this past december and sold out her entire stock of mugs before lunchtime. Probably wasnt because of the apron but still, shes reordered the file twice since then. Im not arguing with the results.
Stitch this on white, cream, or oatmeal cotton and let the red and green do all the talking. Youll want to avoid dark base fabrics because the green stitching can get swallowed. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven cotton, and switch to a mesh cutaway for sweatshirt fleece. Hoop the big 7.5-inch version snug because the wide "Blankets" script row needs even tension or the satin columns can pull.
Pop this on a canvas tote, a christmas apron, a kitchen tea towel, or a festive sweatshirt and it works equally well on all of em. The 4.5-inch mid-size is probably the most versatile placement. Slow the machine down a fraction on the bolder-cap sections where density sits higher and your bobbin tension will thank ya.

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.
