Eight colours in this one which is more than most valentine designs, but the stitch count is manageable at 12,061 to 25,558 depending on size. Seven sizes from 3.21 inches wide up to 6.88 inches wide, heights go from 3.51 up to 7.51 inches so the balloon cluster above the handlebars adds quite abit of vertical space. The density is low at 77 so it stitches light and sits flat even on loosely woven fabric.
Trim neatly between each colour stop or the back gets messy with eight colour changes. The balloon fills have minimal jumps built in so the machine runs mostly clean without lots of thread tails. Run it on stabiliser cut just larger than your hoop size and use a floating method if your hoop cant grip thin fabrics cleanly. Stitch the 5-in run on natural canvas for the cleanest colour contrast. Use a tearaway on woven cotton or light denim, and switch to cutaway on jersey if you go for the 6-inch size on a tote.
Last spring a customer used this on tote bags for a cycling clubs valentines fundraiser and it was suprised how much detail came through at 5 inches. Dm me if you want a different format sent over and Ill sort the file out same-day for ya.

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.
