Its a heart with a bow on top, and the bow is the part that makes it work. Most heart designs are just a heart. This one looks like someone wrapped a valentines day gift, tied a ribbon on it, and then you somehow stitched the whole thing onto fabric. The bow has two proper loops, a pinched centre knot and two ribbon tails draping down over the top of the heart.
5 colours: a deep rosy pink for the main heart fill, a slightly lighter coral shade on the bow body, a narrow white satin highlight strip running down the centre fold of each bow loop to suggest the ribbon sheen, a dark rose for the shadow edges on the bow, and a dark outline that ties the whole piece together. Density is 892 stitches per centimetre so the heart fill is properly solid, not transparent on thinner fabrics.
Honestly this one gets ordered year round, not just for valentines. I see it go out for anniversary gifts, mothers day totes, birthday pouches. One customer sent me a photo in January, she had stitched the 7 inch version on a pink satin zipper pouch as a gift for a hen night. Looked suprisingly luxe for an embroidery project.
Only 3 sizes but theyre all in the larger range: 5.5 inches, 6.5 inches and 7.5 inches wide. Stitch counts from 31,371 to 43,776. Use cutaway stabiliser on stretch fabrics and tearaway on woven cotton, denim or canvas. The bow satin loops have a tight density so backing matters for keeping the loops crisp and rounded, dont skip it.
Best on white, cream, blush or pale grey. The deep pink reads warm and full on a lighter ground. Goes on valentines tees, tote bags, gift pouches, pillow covers and any romantic apparel project. Works on its own or paired with a name or date stitched underneath.

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.
