The heart here isnt the usual filled-in shape. Its drawn as a single looping line, like someone did it in one brushstroke, starting from the top left, sweeping down through the body and curling up into a long decorative tail at the bottom right. Then a solid black paw print sits right in the upper half, kinda overlapping where the heart curves, both shapes sharing space without crowding each other. Two colours. Clean.
Stitch count is light, honestly one of the lower-density designs in my range. Smallest size at 3.45 inches runs 4,333 stitches and the largest 7.43-inch sits at 15,100. Thats because its mostly outline satin and the paw fill is compact. Means it digitises fast and stitches out without drama. I been customisin versions of this design for the past year and it almost never causes machine issues, even on lighter fabrics.
The people buying this fall into a few camps. Pet memorial workshop owners ordering it for sympathy gift projects. Dog rescue fundraisers who stitch it onto canvas bags for adoption day tables. My mum runs a small doggy daycare and she uses it on the staff aprons, she sent me a photo last october and it looked alot better than she expected on the navy cotton. Good marker that the design holds across fabric colours.
Tearaway works well on woven cotton tee fabric. On jersey or any stretchy knit, swap in a cutaway layer so the red satin outline keeps its shape. Pop the small 3.45-inch on a keyring felt patch or a collar tag backing. Send me message if the paw padding stitches look gappy on your test run and Ill adjust the underlay settings.

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.
