The whole point of a split frame design is that gap in the middle where you add a name or word. This one uses a paw print as the anchor shape. The upper half shows the four toe beans and the top of the pad, a horizontal satin rule runs across the middle, and the lower arc of the pad curves below it. Stitch a pet name in the gap and the whole thing reads as a complete composition. Its black thread throughout, single colour, no colour changes.
Set the density to 280 in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, so the satin outlines hold their shape on medium-weight cotton and canvas without the directional stitches spreading. Theres 3 sizes: the 2.02-inch at 2279 stitches for small patch work, up to 3.64 inches at 4589 stitches for larger items. Layer a lightweight cutaway with your fabric and the horizontal rule wont bow when the machine pulls tension on that long satin run.
Message me if you need name font suggestions, happy to point you to a few free ones that work well at these proportions. A customer last month used the 3.64-inch version on a dog bandana for a market stall she runs, put the pets name in the gap in a bold block font and said it was her fastest-selling personalised item. I recieved her photo and it looked really solid.
Add a name in the gap using your embroidery software before you send to machine. Skip fonts that are too thin at small sizes, the name needs to hold its own against the bold satin outline. Use a matching black or go contrasting with white on dark fabric for strong readability.

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.
