Two skeleton hands, wrists touching, fingers reaching up and out to frame a heart shape in the open space between em. Its all in solid black, 1 colour, no fills, no gradients. The bone joints along each finger are picked out with a lighter satin column so you get that skeletal texture even at smaller sizes. At 2.19 inches wide on the small version and 6.56 inches on the large one, the detail stays readable across the 5 included sizes.

industry software set the density at 382 for this one and I think thats about right. Ive run it on black cotton jersey and the bones pop cleanly because of the way directional stitching separates each segment. Tape a heavy cutaway behind your fabric, dont skip it on stretch fabrics or the wrist join will shift mid-stitch. On knit the underlay does real work keeping the satin columns from sinking in.

Stitch count starts at 5,287 on the smallest and climbs to 18,828 on the biggest, so plan your thread accordingly. Its a 1-colour job meaning zero thread swaps mid-run, which customers who do bulk halloween orders realy appreciate. A customer last october ordered the 4-inch version for a whole batch of black tees for a school drama club. Simple, clean, done in a single bobbin.

Skip busy patterned fabric with this one. Black or charcoal works, but honestly white or cream cotton is where it reads best because the heart shape has room to breathe. Use a medium-weight tearaway if youre going on woven linen and keep the hoop tension even. Holler if anything with the file needs fixing and I'll sort it.

Behind every stitch

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.
