Its a bow and its drawn the way a bow should look. Two big looped wings fanned out on each side, a small round knot in the centre with thin lines radiating outward like spokes, and two ribbon tails dropping down with notched tips so they sit properly like a tied gift bow. The whole thing is outline-only in hot pink, no fill inside the wings, which gives it that light airy feel instead of looking like a solid block of colour.
The inner line work is the part that makes it stitch nicely. Fine parallel lines run from the centre knot out toward the edges of each wing, so on fabric you see that slight three-dimensional ribbon effect without any heavy satin fill. And because its single-colour with no thread changes, its one of the faster ones to run off, which matters when youre doing a small batch for a birthday party or school fundraiser.
Five sizes from 3.26 by 3.5 inches up to 6.98 by 7.5. Biggest one fills a gift bag front nicely. Smallest sits on a shirt pocket or the corner of a kids lunch bag without overwhelming the space. Low density at 295 stitches per square inch, so the outline stays crisp rather than bunching on light cotton. I sold three batches of this last spring to people doing gift wrapping for wedding favour tables and it ran fast and clean every time.
Pick light or medium cutaway for anything structural like bags or tote fabric. Tearaway works fine on a standard quilting cotton or poplin shirt. White, ivory, pastel blue and mint backgrounds all let the pink pop. Use a thread topping on fluffy towelling if you want the outline to hold its shape on the pile. Skip dark fabric, the hot pink outline disappears against navy or deep charcoal. Shoot a message if a size isnt quite what you needed and well go through the options.

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.
