Best Nurse Ever, two colours, black and red, stacked in three clear rows. Along the very top a red heartbeat line runs flat then spikes up into a small heart at the centre, then settles back flat again. Below that the word 'Best' sits in blocky black letters with a syringe icon on each side. Then 'Nurse' fills the widest row in big solid red block letters with dense satin fill. And 'Ever' at the bottom in black chunky type with decorative scroll swirls fanning out left and right.
One colour change so the machine does all the black stitching first then stops for you to swap in the red. Its worth getting the red thread right because the nurse lettering takes up the most visual space and a warm true red looks a lot better than anything orange-leaning. I use a basic polyester embroidery red and it comes out clean every time.
Stitch count goes from about 8,900 at 3 inches up to 26,000 at the largest, its higher than it looks because of the wide satin-fill letters. Use mid-weight cutaway for any stretch fabric like knit scrub tops, it really does make a difference with those wide filled sections. Pop a tearaway on cotton canvas or woven fabric. Dont use thin silky fabrics at larger sizes, the satin can pull on those.
I get a lot of repeat orders on this one around nurses week each year in may, people come back and buy it for different colleagues. Its the kind of gift nurses actually keep rather than put in a drawer. Text me if anything goes wrong with the download and ill sort it out same day.

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.
