And this one does what most brain designs dont -- it actually looks like a real brain. The silhouette is a proper lateral-view cross section with the lobes mapped out, and running through the whole shape theres fine typography layered in, scientific terms and anatomical labels filling the space so the text itself becomes the texture. Its dense work. Stitch this at the 4.76 inch size for a lab coat chest pocket and it fits perfectly. Stitches run 18,746 on the small version, reaching 38,151 on the 8.46 inch version, all mapped in Wilcom with a density setting of 451 so the fill holds firm on medium-weight cotton without puckering.
Six sizes in total, starting at 4.23 inches wide and going up to 8.46 by 10.01 inches. Single colour throughout, so theres one thread, no colour changes. Hoop a sturdy cutaway stabiliser and you get a clean result first time. Use the 8.46 inch version on a canvas tote if you want the typography inside each lobe to actually be readable up close. The satin outlines around each lobe section keep everything tidy even at the smaller sizes. I ran this through a few test fabrics last week -- white cotton twill on a lab coat pocket gave the sharpest result, but dark navy fleece with wash-away film on top came out realy well too.
So if you know a customer who wants something a bit more specific than a cartoon brain, this is probably what they're after. Reads differently up close than from across the room -- far away its a brain, up close its this whole wall of text and science. Interesting either way. Holler if you want a size not listed here and I'll see what we can work out.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Embroider onto a white lab coat chest pocket for a science or medical giftThe 4.76 inch size fits a standard chest pocket perfectly and looks sharp on white cotton twill.
- Stitch the large 8.46 inch size onto a canvas tote bag for a biology studentCanvas needs a firm cutaway underlay to handle the density; the detail stays readable at this scale.
- Add to a denim jacket back panel as a statement anatomy patchAt 8.46 inches the typography inside each lobe becomes legible -- worth the extra hoop time.
- Use the small 4.23 inch version on a beanie for a nerdy everyday lookThe 4.23 inch version still holds all the lobe outlines cleanly on a 1x1 rib knit beanie.
- Sew onto a throw pillow cover for a study or home officeA 12 oz canvas pillow cover in natural or white shows off the single-colour contrast well.
- Hoop onto a black t-shirt back yoke for a science-themed streetwear pieceDark fabric makes the labels pop more than white; add topping film for the best stitch clarity.
- Stitch onto a pouch or pencil case as a gift for a neuroscience studentSmall zip pouches in black canvas are a go-to for this size range -- fast project, great result.

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.
