Heres the stethoscope folded into a heart shape with bunch of small red hearts spilling off the left side like the love just keeps falling out. The tubing curls up the right, loops at the top and dips back down to form the chestpiece on the lower right. Real clean line and its got that handmade feel.
Two colours only. Black satin handles the whole stethoscope tube and the diaphragm bell, and red fills a cluster of hearts at the chestpiece plus the cascade running down the side. The hearts vary, some are filled solid, others just outlined, which gives the trail a lil scattered feel instead of a uniform pattern.
What sells this one is the negative space inside the heart shape. No fill, no decoration, just the tube line drawing the silhouette. That gap lets the design breathe and its reads instantly as both a stethoscope AND a heart from across a room. I get messages from nursing students every graduation season asking for a clean version like this and last May a customer ordered nine of em for her cohort pinning ceremony tote bags. She said theyre still a hit.
Stitch on cream, white, navy or burgundy scrubs and the black tubing reads sharp. Pop it on a soft pink or pale blue scrub jacket pocket for a softer look. Pair on natural canvas tote bags for a nursing-class gift batch. Avoid busy printed fabric, the cascade hearts get lost in pattern noise and youll lose the cascade effect. Skip dark navy aswell when stitching the small 3.5 inch size, the falling hearts shrink too much.
Density runs moderate at 36k stitches on the biggest 7.5 inch size, 12k on the smallest, with one colour change and 21 trims. Use a medium cutaway stabiliser on knit scrub fabric, tear-away holds fine on canvas or twill totes. Hoop tight, the long satin tube wont sit flat without proper underlay and youll get puckering otherwise. Send a help-form screenshot if a thread loops on the back side.

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.
