Drew up a proper arch rainbow for this one, three solid concentric arcs stacked tightly so the shape reads bold from across the room. The outermost arc is red with a row of small satin dots running along the inside edge, a decorative line that separates it from the green arc beneath. Green sits in the middle, then navy blue on the inside, and all three arcs carry a dense directional satin so the colours have real depth rather than that flat printout look you sometimes see on cheaper digitising.
At the very base of the arch, tucked right in where the two inner arcs meet, theres a small apple: red satin body, a single green leaf, and a tiny red heart shape on the apple face instead of the usual highlight dot. Its small enough to read as a hidden detail rather than a competing focal point. Below the whole arch, TEACHER sits in a chunky mixed-case block font with thick strokes, each letter with rounded corners. The font sits close under the arch so the whole design reads as one unit.
Five colours, 5 sizes running from 3.01 by 2.37 inches up to 7.01 by 5.5 inches. Stitch count on the largest is 24,915, which is dense for this kind of bold graphic, but its because the arcs pack tight and that satin dot edging adds a solid chunk of stitches all on its own. Density at 646 per square inch is on the high end, so slow your machine down on the arch fills, especially if youre on stretch fabric.
A customer who makes personalised school bags wrote me at the start of last September saying the 5-inch is the size she reaches for most. It sits above a zip on a backpack without crowding the space. Best on firm cotton canvas, felt or a woven twill. Stabilise well, those dot edge stitches can walk on lighter fabrics if the hoop isnt drum-tight.
Try navy or white backgrounds for the cleanest contrast. The red arch loses punch on warm-toned fabric so stick to neutral or cool base colours if you want full impact. Pick a tear-away stabiliser for wovens, cutaway for anything with any stretch at all.

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.
