Heres what this design is. Three nested arches stacked tight, outer band in scarlet red, middle band in dark magenta, and the inner arch in tangerine orange. Right underneath the centre, hanging in the middle of the rainbow, sits a single bright red heart, filled in proper, kinda like a pendant dropping from the curve. Compact, almost coin-sized at the smallest, with a real warm valentines feel to the palette.
Three colours total. Two colour changes mid-run, theres no fiddly bobbin swaps. 4 sizes total. Stitch counts run from 1,349 at the smallest 1.03 inch up to 5,252 at the largest 3.09 inch. Density sits at 377, light enough that the small sizes dont blob alot. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with sketchy satin underlay on the arches and a proper directional fill on the heart, the colour stops are clean and the heart placement registers tight against the arch.
One customer ordered the smallest 1.03-inch size in january for a batch of valentines day baby bibs, she stitched them on white cotton with mesh wash topping. She told me each bib ran in under three minutes flat which made the gift batch real fast to finish before the 14th.
Best fabrics for this lil rainbow: cream, white, soft pink, oatmeal cotton jersey. Skip black or burgundy backgrounds, the magenta wont read. Use medium cutaway stabiliser on knit. Pop water-soluble topping on terry, the small heart fill will sink into loops without it. Hoop firmly but dont stretch, the satin needs even tension to register clean against itself.

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.
