Two words stacked, always above and forever below, written in a flowing cursive script that leans slightly and has those long swooping ascenders. The letterforms have a real calligraphy pen quality, the down strokes are thicker and the cross strokes taper thin. Small heart sits between the two words almost like a full stop with feelings. Its 2 colours, the script in a deep navy or black and the heart in red, fitting from 2.33 to 4.98 inches wide across 5 sizes.

Stitch count goes from 5,784 at the smallest up to 13,521 at the 4.98 inch size. Density is 362 which is on the lighter side, good for finer cotton or linen where you dont want lettering to feel heavy or stiff. I digitised the letterforms with satin column stitching so the script looks crisp and the stroke width contrast actually shows in the stitching. Back with a stable poly cutaway on stable wovens. For anything with stretch, go cutaway or use a topping on the fabric surface.

My niece asked me for this one for her wedding keepsake pillowcase and I realised it works brilliantly outside valentines too. Ive also had customers stitch it on kitchen linen as a matching set, looks really nice paired with a simple tea towel. Pop it centred on a cream or white fabric and the navy script stands out cleanly. Honestly it's one of those designs that works year round, not just february.

Try the 3.5 inch file on a small gift tag or fabric insert. Stitch the full 5 inch file onto a pillow or canvas bag for a more prominent look. Skip coloured base fabrics unless youre willing to swap the thread to a contrasting colour.
