"My Favorite Teacher" written out in a mix of print and script lettering, with a small apple illustration tucked in near the text. Not a stiff block font, the letters have a bit of bounce to them and the apple sits naturally in the composition rather than being bolted on as an afterthought. Two colour build, red for the apple body and a darker shade for the stem and text, so theres one thread change in the run.
Five sizes from 2.32 inches wide at 5,445 stitches up to 5.39 wide at 13,652. Density of 361 means it runs at a reasonable pace and doesnt over-saturate lighter fabrics. Wilcom mapped the directional fill on the apple so the satin on the body goes vertically and the highlight area shifts slightly, giving it a tiny bit of depth. Press a soft backer behind this, its enough for the stitch count and keeps the fabric from warping at the smaller sizes. I mostly see this one going on cotton canvas or light denim.
Red on white cotton is the most common use I see, but a customer last september asked about doing it in navy on a pale yellow tote and honestly that combination looked really fresh. Stitch the 4 inch version on a pocket, use the 5 inch for a full tote front panel, or add the 2.32 inch size on a small gift tag pouch. Pick the colour combo that matches the teachers personality and youre done. Email me if the colours arent working and I can give you thread swap notes.

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.
