Pulled the classic LOVE stacked letter layout, L and O on top row, V and E on the bottom, but the O is gone and a full dog paw print takes its place. The paw sits big and fills the same space those round O curves would, three oval toe pads at the top and one wider one below, and cut into the heel pad is a small negative-space heart. So you get LOVE and a paw at the same time without them fighting for attention.
Its all single colour, solid black satin fill, no colour changes, no thread swaps. The letters have that chunky serif-ish weight so they hold shape even at smaller hoop sizes. Smallest is the 2.22 inch version at 4,034 stitches, biggest runs 7.74 inches wide at 30,102 stitches. And the paw print itself is digitised with directional stitching on the toe pads so they read as soft rounded shapes not just flat blobs.
One customer ordered this last spring for a batch of black canvas totes she was making as rescue adoption celebration gifts. She sent me a photo, the 5 inch version on cream cotton. Looked exactly like the kind of thing youd find in a boutique pet shop. Pop it on white, cream, oat or grey and the single black thread really punches. Skip dark fabric for this one since its single-colour and needs the contrast.
Hoop with a cutaway stabiliser under knit tees, tearaway on canvas or denim works fine. Back it with a medium tearaway on cotton and it lies flat without distortion. The letterforms are big enough that a single layer of stabiliser is usually all you need. Six sizes so you can scale from a pocket badge to a full-front statement on a sweatshirt. Holler if the file gives you any trouble and Ill sort it same day.

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.
