Drafted this quote design as a confident statement for anyone who actually cooks from scratch. The lettering runs in a casual brush-script style, the kind where the baseline bounces and the thicks and thins look natural, not forced. 'Homemade' at the end gets a bolder treatment, bigger than the rest of the quote, so your eye lands on the payoff word last. Theres no fussiness to it, just the words and the energy they carry.
Three colours, which means 3 thread changes and a clean bobbin sequence. The main script runs in dark navy, the accent word in rusty terracotta, and the counter-stitching background is cream. Stitch count goes from 11,751 at the smallest 3.19-inch hoop up to 25,875 at the full 6.83-inch wide size. Satin columns on the main letters keep them readable even at the 3.19-inch width, which matters for a phrase this long running across a horizontal layout.
Ive had alot of home bakers buy this one and they tend to go for aprons and tea towels rather than garments. One customer told me she puts it on flour-sack towels and sells them at her local farmers market as part of a homemade jams stall, she said its her best-seller because people who bake recognise the attitude immediately and think its funny and true.
Stick to cream, white, or natural linen fabric. The navy and terracotta pop clearly on light grounds. Skip dark fabric entirely, the navy thread disappears and you lose the whole design. Use a tear-away stabiliser on woven apron fabric and a light cutaway on knit tea towel material. Hoop tight in both directions or the horizontal script stitching will pull the baseline crooked. Slow the bobbin speed on the satin column sections, thats where density builds up fastest.
Nine sizes in the file, files for 8 different machine formats arrive together. But if somethings off just message me and Ill look into it.

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.
