The O in the middle of MOM isnt an O anymore, its a full red satin bow. Thick ribbon loops sitting right in the negative space of the letter, with the tail ends draping a little past the baseline so the bow reads bigger than the letters around it. The M letters on either side are blocky varsity-style with a warm tan fill that reads like old gold under certain lighting, and a heavy black outline that gives the whole thing a badge or patch feel.
Its a compact design horizontally. Widths run from 1.94 inches at the smallest up to 4.13 inches at the largest, with the height going a bit taller because of those ribbon tails. Nine sizes total, and honestly Im suprised how clean the satin stitching holds even at the small end. The satin stitch density on the bow is set with directional changes to suggest the fold where the loops meet, so it doesnt look like a flat red blob.
Three colours only: the tan letter fill, red bow, black outlines. Use medium-weight cutaway on any knit fabric. On woven cotton or linen a tear-away works fine as long as your hooping is tight. The black outline is the last colour stop and its doing alot of the structural work so dont skip it if youre tempted to run a 2-colour version. Add topping on fleece or that outline work sinks and all that detail blurs out. Pick a 90/14 needle on denim. I get asked about this design around mothers day every year and its one of those that people order in small batches to give as gifts, last may a customer ordered it twice after realising she needed one for both her mum and her mother-in-law. Text me your order if theres any download issue and Ill send you the files directly.

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.
