My niece stitched this one onto her nursing school tote last year and honestly it looked more professional than I expected at that size. Its the simplicity of it, just a bold red cross inside a proper weighted ring with no filler noise around it. The ring isnt a thin outline either, its a full satin band so it reads clearly from a few feet away.
Single colour throughout, which means theres only 1 stop on the machine and no colour swaps to manage. Back it with a medium-weight cutaway so the ring satin stays stable through the wash, that thick band can pull on lighter stabiliser. Density is 295 in my main software, quite low deliberately, keeps the ring from going boardy on thinner fabrics like scrub material or standard cotton tote canvas.
Four sizes in the set: 2 x 2 inch at 1,939 stitches, 3 x 3 inch at 3,371 stitches, 4 x 4 inch at 5,360 stitches, and 5 x 5 inch at 7,407 stitches. Drop the 2-inch version on a pen pocket or a chest badge spot. Pop the 4-inch on a tote front panel. The 5-inch sits well on a first-aid kit pouch or a larger bag panel. Stitch it, trim the jump, done.

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.
