At 49,443 stitches, this peace sign hand design packs alot into its 8-inch frame and its worth talking about how it holds together. The hand itself uses tight directional tatami runs for that realistic woven skin look, while the daisy petals switch to satin stitch so they pop clean and bright against it. Six colours total: peach skin tone, black outline, white petals, bright green stems, golden orange centres, and a soft shading thread across the palm knuckles. The density sits at 798, which means youre gonna need a cutaway stabiliser on anything with stretch, no question.
Visually its two fingers raised, with daisy stems literally growing up through and around the fingers. Green leaves tucked in between, five or six full daisy heads scattered around the hand, and one lil solo daisy floating off to the lower right like it wandered off from the bunch. Theres a retro 70s hippie energy to it but the digitising keeps the lines crisp and modern. The bold black outline reads sharp even on mid-toned fabrics like denim or olive canvas.
One crafter wrote me last week, she stitched a run of twelve on canvas tote bags and sold out of em same afternoon at a market. Kinda love hearing that. The 4-inch version sits at 21,742 stitches which is still complex for its size, so dont skimp on topping on terry cloth or fleece. Use cutaway backing on stretchy cotton tees so the design stays crisp. Tearaway is fine for stable wovens like twill or linen, hoop tight, no movement mid-stitch.
Pop it across a sweatshirt chest and those green stems read from across a room. Center the 6-inch on a cotton tote for that indie-market look. Add it to a pillowcase on natural linen and the white daisies against the cream background is kinda perfect. Stitch the small 4-inch version onto a baby bodysuit and you get that sweet retro-peace vibe without being over the top.
Skip the dense underlay pass on super lightweight cotton voile, the stitch count will cause drag and pull. On heavier fabrics like canvas or denim, set your bobbin tension just slightly looser than standard so the satin on those daisy petals lays flat without pulling the back. Iron the piece face-down on a soft towel after stitching to settle everything without crushing the texture.
Message me if it drags on thin fabric.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Denim jacket back panelNeeds a cutaway on the back panel if the jacket shell has any give, but the result looks boutique-quality.
- Canvas tote bagThe 6-inch version centres perfectly on a standard tote without crowding the top handle space.
- Sweatshirt or hoodie chestHonestly my favourite spot for this one, the bold black outline carries across a distance on fleece.
- Baby bodysuit or onesieThe 4-inch drops onto a bib or bodysuit without overwhelming the tiny chest panel.
- Linen pillowcaseWhite daisies against natural linen is a really clean look, tearaway stabiliser works fine here.
- Jean shorts pocketUse the smallest 4-inch, it fits a back pocket without losing the daisy detail on the petals.
- Reusable grocery bagCanvas grocery bags take the full 49K stitch load without any puckering, go with the 8-inch.

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.
