The word LOVE but done up for christmas, each letter packed with holiday detailing. The letters themselves are chunky and bold so there is plenty of surface area for the fill work, and thats where it gets interesting. Florals, berries, little ribbons, the whole seasonal mix tucked inside each letterform. Not the kind of design you just glance past.
And yes it uses 8 colours which sounds like alot, but the way its digitised the colour changes are grouped so its not constant swapping. I had a customer last christmas tell me she ran the 7.5 inch design on a navy fleece blanket and it came out better than she expected, which honestly is the best kind of message to get. Dense sections run around 48,996 stitches at the large size so use cutaway stabiliser, not tearaway.
Comes in 5 sizes, smallest is 3.51 inches wide and the largest hits 7.51 inches. The stitching is directional in the floral fills which keeps everything from looking flat. Satin outlines on the letters give that crisp raised edge that really pops against dark fabric.
Best results on cotton fleece, heavy cotton twill or canvas. Skip thin jersey for the big size since that stitch density needs something solid underneath it. Hoop firmly and use topping on anything with texture so the fills sit clean. Hit me up if anything isnt right on the file and ill sort it out.

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.
