This sweet rainbow is dead simple but it works. Three arches nested together, outer arch in scarlet red, the middle in warm tangerine orange, and the inner arch back in red, with clean white gaps between each band. Below the arches four lil sketchy red hearts hang on thin connector lines like dangling charms or balloon strings. The hearts arent perfectly filled, theyve got that hand-drawn scratchy look which is whats giving the whole design its kinda just sweet vibe.
Two colours only, scarlet and tangerine orange. Theres three sizes. The smallest 1.37 inch hits 1,640 stitches and the biggest 4.08 inch is 5,943, so even the largest version runs fast on the machine. Density sits at 324 which is light, so it stays soft to the touch on baby fabrics without that stiff plasticky feel youll get with denser fills. I digitised it in my embroidery software with sketchy satin underlay on the arches, the open hearts use a single edge run.
One customer ordered five of these in march for a baby shower, she stitched the 2-inch on cotton onesies and used a fine mesh wash stab so the stitches sat flat against baby skin. She said the arch printed out kinda just like she imagined.
Best on cream, white, soft pink, or pale mint cotton jersey. Skip dark fabric, the red and orange need a light ground or itll read muddy. Use cutaway stab on knit fabric like onesie cotton, a mesh wash works for stretchier stuff. Avoid hooping too tight on lightweight jersey, the satin will pucker. Pop a sheet of water-soluble topping if your fabric has any nap or terry texture.

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.
