Its a stethoscope bent into a heart shape with little red hearts floating out from it. The whole composition is genuinely the simplest possible version of that idea, and thats exactly why it works. No fussing around with extra text or clip art nurse imagery, just one clever concept executed cleanly in 2 colors.
Black for the stethoscope tubing, stitched as a thick satin outline so it has weight and presence without being a solid fill. Red for the scattered hearts on the left side, those are open outlines too, and for the small filled heart at the center of the chest piece. Single color change across the entire run, the bobbin stays the same throughout. my software digitised it at density 204, deliberately light because its outline-heavy, and it stitches smooth and fast at any size.
Pop a medium cutaway under scrub fabric or a stretchy t-shirt. Light tear-away on cotton or a stable woven. Stitch the 3.20 x 3.50 inch version on a scrub pocket or a badge buddy. Run the largest at 6.85 x 7.50 on a tote bag front or the center chest of a sweatshirt, 10,491 stitches so its a quick run even at full size. Use it in red thread on white instead of the original colorway and it reads just as cleanly.
I had a customer message me last month, a nursing student who ran it on 8 scrub tops for her whole clinical cohort as a group graduation gift. Thats the kind of repeat-use that 2-color designs make easy, and she said color swapping was a non-issue since youre only matching 2 threads.

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.
