11 colours and 4 sizes from 2.5 inches up to 5.5 inches wide. The word MERRY gets stacked four times down the centre, each row in a different colour, and running right through the middle of all that lettering is a Christmas tree built entirely out of crayons. Green satin lettering at top, tan in the middle rows, red next, then pink at the bottom, and the crayons spiraling up between them in every colour you'd find in a kids' pencil case. Its genuinely clever layout. The word "teacher" sits underneath in a loose cursive satin stitch, dark thread, kinda handwritten in feel.
All up theres 11 colour stops across 4 sizes from 2.5 inches wide up to 5.5 inches. Stitch range runs from 9136 at the small end to 21352 at the largest, so hoop accordingly. I usually run this on a 5x7 hoop with a firm no-show cutaway stabiliser underneath because the dense satin blocks need something solid behind em or the lettering pulls. The crayon section uses directional fill stitches to suggest the stripe detailing, alot of short satin runs packed tight. A customer last christmas ordered this for 12 matching tote bags for the whole school staff and said the density held up perfectly on canvas.
Stitch it onto a canvas tote, a holiday sweatshirt, a teacher apron. And honestly the 2.5 inch version sits nicely on a shirt pocket too, which I dont think people try enough. Use a topping on fleece or terry cloth if youre going on anything with texture so the letters dont sink into the pile. Hoop tight, run a test on scrap fabric first. Hit me up if anything looks off and Ill sort it.

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.
