Pulled together the hymn-board vertical with cursive oh, block HOLY, and night script because I wanted something that felt more like an actual carol poster than a generic xmas sign. The result is a column where the word oh floats at the top in loopy red cursive, then four big block black letters spell HOLY down the centre, each letter its own distinct satin block, and night wraps it up at the base in the same flowing red script as the top. A lil bunch of outline stars in dark red scatter around the edges, not crowded, just enough to give it texture.
5 sizes from 3.51 inches up to 7.51 inches tall. Stitch counts run from 2,931 at the smallest through to 6,402 at the largest, so its a reasonably light load on the machine. The low density of 341 means those cursive sections wont stiffen up on softer materials like linen or cotton poplin. 3 colours and nine stops in the sequence, alternating between the script runs and those slab-serif caps. One customer wanted to know if the dark red stars would show on a burgundy background, honestly not ideal, swap that thread to cream or gold if youre working on a deep-tone base.
Best on natural fabrics for that carol-poster vibe. Stitch it on a linen table runner, a cotton flour sack, an advent calendar pocket. Add cutaway beneath the block letters and tearaway beneath the open script areas for the cleanest result. Avoid hooping on a lean or over-stretched backing or the star details will float.

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.
