Just a shamrock. Three rounded leaves, a little stem, the classic Irish clover shape done clean. Four thread colours, all in the green family with outline and stem details separating the leaf sections. Theres eleven sizes in this file, which is probably the most useful thing about it. The tiny end is 0.79 by 0.79 inches and the largest goes to 4.72 by 4.72 inches, so you can put this on literally anything from a hatband to the chest of a hoodie.
At the small sizes the stitch count is tiny, 763 stitches, so it runs in under 2 minutes and youre onto the next. The largest clocks at 13,582 stitches which is still quick. Density at 610 is comfortable, and I hooped mine with a medium cutaway on standard cotton and got clean results on every size I tested. The underlay on the leaf fills is set with a satin base to stop the green fill from looking thin or patchy. Bobbin tension is normal on all sizes.
I got a batch order last March from a customer making Irish dance costumes for a school group. She needed the 1-inch and 1.5-inch sizes for hairpieces and collar accents and said theyd stitched perfectly sharp. Thats the kind of range you dont normally get from one file. Use a lil topping layer on any textured fabric to keep the leaf outline tight. Stitch on green, white, or gold base fabric for the full Irish look. The 3-inch version works well for shirt chest placement on cotton or linen.
Works on hats, hairpieces, collar patches, aprons, tote bags, gift tags, and seasonal cushion covers with a proper hooped stabiliser base.

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.
