A big apple shape filled up with school supply items, pencils, a ruler, maybe a book or notebook tucked in there too. Its a busy composition but in a good way, the kind of thing kids actually notice. Nine colour build with red leading the apple body, yellow on the pencils, a pop of blue for the ruler, and the green leaf on top. digitising tools set the density at 445 and structured the layering so the supplies read as separate objects even at the smaller 2.38 inch size.
Five sizes, stitches open at 5,461 on the small version and climb to 17,315 at the 5.56 inch. Thats 9 colour stops, so plan for 8 thread changes in the run. Layer a cutaway stabiliser underneath, a sturdy one, the stitch density in the fill areas needs solid backing especially at the bigger sizes on knit or polo fabric. Add a water-soluble topping over any textured fabric so the top thread colours stay bright and dont sink into the weave. A customer in august asked about doing this on a childs backpack in felt and it stitched out really well on a flat felt panel.
Run it on white or navy cotton for the clearest reads. Avoid super-stretchy single knits for this one unless you hoop it with tear-away topping AND cutaway backing, it needs both on stretch. Text the shop if you want to swap any of the 9 colours and I can walk you through which thread stop corresponds to which element.

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.
