Nurse life. Thats the whole brief, really. I had a customer order this for a gonna-be nurse graduation gift and she said she wanted it to feel proud but not cheesy, and that was back in september, she came back in january for three more for her whole cohort. Seven colours lets you work in a proper red cross accent, solid navy text, and a lil teal or mint detail that gives it some life without going over the top. The stethoscope icon is kinda the anchor, it says healthcare before you even read the words.
Density is 62 on this one, which is on the lighter side, and thats intentional for scrub fabric. Scrubs are woven but they have a slight give and lower density digitising means the stitches wont feel stiff or scratchy after a few hospital shifts. Use a cutaway stabiliser if youre hooping onto the actual scrub top, tearaway is fine for tote or canvas items. The underlay in the lettering is set up to keep the satin columns straight and crisp. Stitch the 4-inch version at around 600-700 SPM for the cleanest column work on the badge text sections.
Nine sizes from 3.5 inches up to 7.5 wide, 1,068 to 22,500 stitches across the range. Run it on a cotton canvas zip pouch for a gift and it stitches out in under ten minutes at the 4-inch size. I get messages about colour swaps for team-specific versions, the seven colours are straightforward to reassign in any software. Customising the cross to a school colour or changing the text accent is totally doable. Pick a white or light grey base garment and the full colour contrast comes through cleanly.
Send me a message if ya need anything adjusted and Ill get back to you quickly.

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.
