The whole design is a heart made out of words. Every word is a different way of saying mum, in English, Spanish, and a couple of variations. "Mommy" in curly script sits at the upper curve, then "Mamacita" running across, "Mother" in big bold block letters through the middle, "mama" in flowing red cursive underneath, "Madre" in heavy caps near the base, and "Mum" tucked in at the very bottom with little curling swirls on either side. Small red heart shapes fill the gaps so the overall silhouette stays solid. Kinda looks like alot going on up close but pulls back into a clean heart shape from a foot away.
Two colours only, red and black. Red carries all the cursive and script elements while black handles the heavier block type. Wilcom drove the underlay sequencing, the density sits at 445 which keeps it light enough to stitch onto mid-weight cotton without pulling or distorting the heart outline. Use a sturdy tearaway under woven fabric or switch to a soft cutaway if youre going onto jersey. Dont rush the smaller curly lettering near the top, slow the machine speed down a little for the fine cursive characters. Stitch count goes from 11,400 to 23,650 depending on size. Im honestly a bit proud of how much variety fits into a clean heart outline here.
Works really well for Spanish-speaking families or multicultural households, which is exactly why a customer told me last autumn she used it for her mums birthday cushion. She stitched it in red thread on an ivory linen cover and said her mum cried when she saw it. Hoop the linen tight on a firm tearaway to keep the satin letters crisp, and press with a cloth over the stitching after to flatten any slight raise. Pop it onto a tote, a sweatshirt, or a cushion cover and youll find the scale options are genuinely flexible. Its also a great candidate for a cotton tea towel or a linen apron front if youre doing a kitchen gift set.
5 sizes from 3.33x4.01 up to 6.64x8.01 inches. Reach me if you want a size recommendation before you start.

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.
