Baby shower gift bags, nursery pillows, personalised lunchbags for the first day of school. Thats where it keeps turning up. Six full-bloom roses circle the name in a wreath shape, each flower packed with directional satin stitching and a tight spiral centre that really pops off the fabric. Yellow, sky blue, lavender, coral pink, purple and a second round of yellows make up the ring, all connected by bright green stems with pointed leaves. Im a sucker for rainbow palettes that dont feel babyish, and the palette walks that line pretty well.
Centre of the wreath sits "Oliver" in a flowing cursive, stitched in terracotta rust thread. The letterforms have nice thick strokes with proper underlay so they stay crisp even on a stretchy cotton jersey. At 31,725 stitches on the largest run this is a dense piece, so your stabiliser choice matters alot. Cutaway on knits and fleece, no question. On quilting cotton or linen you can get away with a tearaway but go for the heavier 2.5oz grade or the satin petals will tunnel slightly.
Just last week a mum at my local craft fair grabbed the 3.5 inch to test on a canvas pencil case before ordering the 5-inch for a set of nursery cushion covers. She said it hooped perfectly both times, which honestly is the main thing with a circular design like this, you want that wreath centred or the whole thing looks off. Use the 5 inch on a tote bag front, the 7.5 inch on a quilt block, and the smaller sizes for bibs and muslin squares. Nine sizes would give you more steps but five covers the typical project range just fine.
Topping film is worth it on terry cloth towels if youre doing a bath set. The loops on towelling will swallow the fine leaf detail otherwise. Skip the jump stitch trimming step if your machine handles it mid-run, but if not, trim between the roses before the name stitches or you get a thread web across the white negative space. Hoop tight, use a 75/11 embroidery needle, and it stitches out really smooth on cotton twill.
Give me a heads up and Ill retune the fill for knits.

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.
