Four big shamrock leaves in kelly green with a black outline, each one heart-shaped at the tip, and the word Love sits right in the middle where the stems meet. Its a St. Patricks Day piece with a Valentine-ish warmth to it and I honestly didnt expect it to be this popular when I first digitised it. The leaves are satin-filled and the script lettering inside is tight enough that it reads at 3 inches no problem.
4 colours in the file. Green fill does the heavy lifting. White gives a little highlight edge on the inner leaves. The red heart pops at the very centre where the Love text sits, and black carries the outline and letterforms. Color changes come in at 4 points across the stitch sequence and its smooth, no jumpy transitions. Runs from about 25k stitches at the smallest size up to 66k on the 6-inch version, so the density is proper on both ends.
Best results on a white or cream cotton shirt. Pop it centre-chest on a kids tee and it reads across a classroom. And theres a good 4-inch version that fits on a canvas tote without losing any of the leaf detail. I had a customer last march who ordered the 3-inch size on pale pink linen and stitched eight of them in a row as a table runner trim. She sent photos and it looked genuinely brilliant, alot better than I imagined on fabric that light.
Use a cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics. The satin fill on the leaves will pull without it. On woven cotton or denim a medium tearaway is fine. Hoop snug and keep the density setting at 100 so the green stays solid across the full leaf area. Skip stretchy jersey unless youre willing to float it on foam topping first.

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.
