This is one of those sayings that dog people realy get. The layout stacks the whole phrase vertically, starting with I'M NOT curved in a gentle arc at the top in bold black caps. Three paw prints dot around the arch, solid black fill with the little toe pad detail clear at all 5 sizes. Then Single drops in big red cursive underneath, thick satin letters with a swoosh ribbon underline, and I HAVE A sits above the bottom line in smaller black block text. Dog finishes it off in a tall, wide decorative script that takes up most of the bottom, and theres a tiny bone tucked right under the g as a lil extra detail. Its one of those designs that doesnt need explaining, people get it immediately.
Two colours only: black and red. Stitch count starts at 6390 at the smallest 3.01 inch size and goes up to 16989 at 7.01 inches wide, five sizes total. Use a cutaway stabiliser, especially on knit fabrics, because the directional satin fill on Single and Dog needs the backing to hold the density flat. Hoop it straight and it'll run clean, Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising means the underlay and density stay consistent across every size.
Last month a customer ordered a matching set, a tote and a hat, as a birthday gift for her sister who lives alone with her rescue dog. She wrote me saying the arched lettering on the cap turned out cleaner than she'd expected at that scale. Pop it on a canvas shopper for a dog sitter and they'll carry it every day. Run it on a Valentine's hoodie for the friend whos definitely not sad about being single, and Stitch it on a pillow cover for the couch where the dog sits anyway.

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.
