The word "Love" is written out in flowing script and the musical notes float around and through the letters, some sitting inside the curves of the letters, others drifting just above. Its not a stiff graphic layout, it has movement to it. Wilcom drove the underlay through the note stems at a tight angle so they stitch out crisp at all four sizes without the thin lines going soft.
Four sizes, 4.01 inches wide at 10,271 stitches on the small end, climbing to 7.01 inches and 23,211 at full scale. Single colour build so theres no stopping for thread changes. Density sits at 496 across the build which is on the denser side for a script design, Im not trying to get it done fast, Im getting the note symbols to read clearly. Use a firm backer underneath and a water-soluble topping on any fabric with a kinda open weave like jersey or waffle knit.
Stitch it in black on white cotton, or deep burgundy on a cream tote, and it hits that music-lover gift sweet spot. Had a customer last christmas who put the 6-inch on a canvas book bag for her daughter who plays piano, sent me a photo and it genuinely looked like something youd buy in a specialty store. Best on flat woven fabric, avoid stretchy knits unless you back it really well. Send me a note if youre working with something unusual and Im happy to suggest the right stabiliser setup.

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.
