The butterfly wings are actually the letters, the word Mama worked right into the wing shape so you read both at the same time. The upper wings have small floral details, little blooms and leaf shapes along the wing edges, and the whole design sits as a tall elegant shape. 1 colour, stitch count runs from 6,702 at the lower end through to 12,912 on the 4 inch version. Its a simple thread load, no colour changes mid-run and you dont need to babysit it.
Honestly I recieved so many requests for a Mama design that wasnt just plain text that I spent extra time on this one getting the butterfly proportions right. The floral details in the wings read clearly at the 2 inch size aswell, which isnt always the case with this kind of detailed wing fill. The digitising came together in Wilcom with proper satin columns for the letterforms and tight fill patterns for the wing florals.
9 sizes from 1.88 inches wide up to 4.03 inches, heights between 3.5 and 7.5 inches. Back it with a woven cutaway on jersey or knit fabric to stop the satin columns from distorting. Tearaway works fine on woven cotton and linen. Hoop snug and run at standard speed. Skip anything very dark if you want the fine floral wing details to show up clearly, theyll disappear on charcoal or navy.
I get a lot of orders for this one around Mothers Day in May but people buy it all year. A customer last week sent me a photo of this on a cream linen pouch she made for her mum and it looked really lovely. Daughters buying something for their mum. Mums who want something with their own name on it. All of em.

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.
