Nurses who love christmas and dont take themselves too seriously are gonna get alot of mileage out of this one. The design spells out the quote in big bold lettering, the kind that reads across a room, with the main words done chunky and a softer cursive accent weaving through. Its got that festive attitude without going overboard on the decorations.
Two colours total which keeps the thread changes to a minimum during a busy stitching session. The red is the dominant colour and it stitches up in satin fills so it comes out looking solid and smooth. Stitch counts run from 11,567 on the smallest to 25,566 on the largest, so the bigger sizes have some real density to them. Use a cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy like knit scrub fabric.
And honestly this is one I get alot of messages about round christmas time. A customer last december ordered 6 of these on scrub tops for her whole ward as a team gift, said they all wore em on christmas morning shift. That made my day.
Comes in 5 sizes, smallest just over 3 inches wide, largest sits at 7.1 inches across. Pop the medium size on the chest of a scrub top and it hits just right, not too big to feel costume-y. Works on fleece zip jackets aswell if you want something for a cold ward.
Hoop with tearaway stabiliser on woven twill scrubs or use cutaway on jersey. Keep your tension even through the satin sections. Holler if you run into any sizing questions and ill sort you out fast.

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.
