Plain magenta-purple awareness ribbon shape with chunky black cursive script across the face reading I Am A Fighter on a slight diagonal sweep. Different from the standard ribbons in the catalog ya know, the colour is a darker magenta-purple rather than soft pink so it carries cleanly for purple awareness causes too, things like epilepsy, lupus, fibromyalgia, alzheimers, pancreatic. Im glad I drew it. Made it for a customer who wanted somethin shes able to wear on her cardigan after diagnosis last february, without choosing between pretty and bold.
So 2 colours, magenta-purple and black, with one colour change between em. Sizes run from a 3.51 inch wide compact version with 6,240 stitches up to a 7.5 inch wide statement size with 17,415 stitches. There are five sizes in the file pack. Density sits at 491 which is mid-range, the ribbon body fills solid without buckling and the cursive script reads crisp even at the smallest size. Ive built it through Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, directional satin runs along the length of each ribbon tail and a sketchy fill on the body so light catches alot diferently as the wearer moves through a room.
One customer messaged me back in early april saying shes ordered the four inch size for a sweatshirt chest piece to wear during her treatment cycle, every wednesday morning chemo run she puts it on. She told me her infusion nurse asked her about it on appointment three and ended up putting in an order for her own sister. Thats the kind of feedback that keeps me digitising.
Best fabric: sweatshirt fleece, cotton tee jersey, cardigan knit, canvas tote, hospital gown soft cotton. Skip silk and anything sheer, the colour density will shadow through. Youll see it instantly on the first wash. Pop a layer of medium cutaway behind any knit. Use a no-show mesh on lightweight cotton. The smallest 3.51 inch fits a polo chest or a cap. The 4 inch size sits on a sweatshirt chest left. Run the 7.5 inch on a sweatshirt back or a tote bag panel for full statement. Thats my preferred placement for the largest size in this design.

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.
