Worked up this one because customers keep asking for st. patricks day lettering that doesnt look like a pub sign. This is really really understated, just the word lucky in a loose flowing cursive with a four-leaf clover kinda just perched where the dot on the i should be. Single colour, solid green, no fills except the clover body and the letterforms themselves. The script has those long natural-looking tails on the l and the y that make it read as handwritten rather than a computer font.
Wilcom EmbroideryStudio mapped the underlay and column sequencing cleanly. Single colour means zero colour changes and only 9 trims in the whole run, so its a fast stitch, the smallest size at 3.51 inches wide finishes in under 6,000 stitches. The density is set at 510 which gives good coverage on cotton without the letterforms going stiff, the letter column stitches stay smooth rather than puckering. Use a tearaway stabiliser on stable wovens, a cutaway on anything with stretch.
One customer sent me a note saying they ran the 5-in run on a cotton flour sack and it finished in minutes and looked exactly like a printed transfer. Thats the kind of clean result you get with a single-colour satin script when the digitising is solid. Five sizes starting at 3.5 inches going to 7.51 inches wide, so its gonna work on everything from a small left-chest placement up to a full front on a adult hoodie.
Best on smooth cotton, linen or a stable canvas where the letterforms sit flat. Avoid running it on a textured or loose-weave fabric without a topping because the script strokes are narrow and they need something firm underneath to hold the stitch density. Pick a grass green or kelly green 40wt thread for the most accurate look, but any single green that matches your project works fine.
Send me a message if the file doesnt open right and ill get you sorted.

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.
