Its stacked bold cursive top to bottom, big swooping near-black letters that fill most of the design area with real weight. A solid black mortarboard cap sits at the very top with a gold tassel hanging off to one side and two flat satin gold stars flanking it, and theres a small three-petal red accent spray at the bottom left that breaks up all that dark lettering nicely. The density is serious for a text-only piece, around 8491 stitches at 2.49 inches wide on linen, climbing toward 19156 at the full 5.35 inches on canvas or denim. One teacher ordered this last week for a colleague leaving school after thirty years, said she put it on a cream cotton canvas tote and it came out perfect. Stitch on a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser for denim and canvas so the satin sections on those gold stars dont shift under hooping pressure. Pop the 4 inch version on a cotton twill graduation gift bag and it centres without crowding the seam. Use a topping layer on fleece and terry cloth hoodies to keep those script edges crisp, the tatami sections on the mortarboard cap especially need it, and watch the bobbin tension at this stitch density or the underlay pulls through on thinner fabrics.
Just message me and I can lighten the underlay for knits.

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.
