The quote runs in three layers. Top line is 'no bitchin' in loose flowing cursive, all lowercase, rendered in dark green thread with those long looping ascenders that make script lettering look handwritten. Middle section is a solid red ribbon banner with 'IN MY' punched out in white block capitals. Bottom line is 'Kitchen' in big green cursive that sweeps down with a curling tail at the end.
And then theres the utensils. A fork sticks out from the left side of the ribbon and a long-handled spoon hangs off the right with a red droplet at the tip. Below the whole thing sits a small decorative arrow with a tiny heart in the middle. Its a busy design but everything is spaced well enough that it doesnt crowd when you stitch it out.
Three colours total. Green for the lettering, red fills the ribbon banner, white handles the block caps inside. The machine stops twice for colour swaps. So load the green first, then swap to red for the banner fill, then load white for those 'IN MY' caps. Most customers find the sequence easy because each colour lives in its own clearly separate area of the design.
Works best on solid-colour fabric. Ive had messages about this one from people who run small apron businesses and say its been in their regular lineup for a while now. Back in February a customer told me shed been stitching it on linen aprons for market stalls and it sells out every time. That checks out. Use a stable woven-fabric stabiliser on aprons and tea towels. Pop it on cream, white, pale grey, or soft denim and those three colours all read clearly. Skip busy patterns or dark fabrics. Hoop tight and youre sorted.

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.
