The word MAMA sits inside or alongside a ring of botanical outline flowers, the kind where the petals are open satin stitches rather than solid fills, so there are little gaps between them that let the fabric show through. Three thread colours, with the floral outlines and the word using different tones so they dont merge into each other. Density 382, digitised in Wilcom with the outline elements running on a consistent underlay so they dont tunnel or pucker along the curves.
Only 3 sizes and they all sit on the larger end, from 7.5 to 9.5 inches wide. This isnt a pocket design. The smallest is 7.5 by 4.99 inches at 19,759 stitches, the largest 9.5 by 6.33 at 22,965. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser here, the open petal areas need the backing to hold flat, especially on a soft cotton or knit surface. A customer who does personalised gifts asked me last May to stitch this on a set of canvas aprons she was selling at a market, and she sold every single one before noon.
Best on natural linen, cotton canvas or a thick cotton twill. Avoid anything too thin or loosely woven, the large design area will drag the fabric if the stabiliser isnt solid. Pick an ivory or cream for the petal lines and a deeper tone like dusty rose or sage for MAMA itself.
Stitch the 8-inch version centred on an apron body or the back of a tote. The open outline style means the design reads well on most background colours without looking heavy. Run a test stitch on your actual fabric before committing to a full batch.

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.
