The King sits on the left in black and the Queen is on the right in red, each one a stacked trio of crown, letter and suit symbol. Its the same layout you know from an actual playing card, just pulled out and blown up into a two-character pair. The crown on the left is heavier and thicker, the one in red has that slightly more delicate fleur-de-lis style. Side by side the colour contrast does alot of the visual work for you.
I've had customers ask if the pair can be split and used separately. Technically it can if your software supports splitting, but the way I digitised them they share a single colour sequence -- black first, then red -- so its 1 colour change for the whole design. Hoop on a standard 4x4 and the 2.51-inch size runs without any issues. Last month a customer ordered this for a poker night apron and said it stitched out perfectly first try on medium-weight cotton canvas. Its the kind of order that turns up all the time from card players and game night people.
Stitch count goes from 4,734 at the smallest 2.51 x 2.17 inch size up to 15,322 on the largest 6.50 x 5.66 inch. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser under woven fabric for anything above 4 inches wide -- the fill sections are dense enough that tearaway can lift at the edges on stretch or loose-weave materials. Skip dark fabric unless you want the black crown motif to disappear into the base. Reach me at the shop if you have questions about sizing and I'll help you work it 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.
- Stitched as a pair on matching couple tote bags, black on one and red on the otherSplit King to one bag and Queen to the other -- the 2-colour design naturally pairs across a matching set.
- Embroidered on a poker night apron or bar towel as a novelty motifBar towels take the dense fill well with a medium tearaway -- no topping needed on tight-weave cotton.
- Used on a denim jacket chest pocket for a card game or casino-themed lookA denim chest pocket takes the 2.51-inch size cleanly with a small tearaway piece behind it.
- Added to a canvas coin pouch or card wallet as a gift for a card playerCanvas pouches hoop without distortion and the design reads clearly on natural canvas.
- Sewn onto a cotton pillowcase for a game room or man cave bedroomCotton pillowcases hoop best with a light cutaway to keep the fill sections flat after washing.
- Placed on a fleece blanket for a games night gift setFleece takes the 5 or 6-inch size with a medium cutaway and a water-soluble topping to stop the needle sinking.
- Used on a tote bag as a matching set with the design centred on each sideCentring on each tote side works at the 3.92-inch width, sitting inside the bag panel without crowding the handles.

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.
