Stitched out at the 10-inch last month just to see how it handled, and honestly it was one of those runs you stand next to and watch the whole time. The cup body is a solid orange shape, rounded, with a proper handle and a flat saucer underneath. But the interior is completely filled with tight black scroll work, coffee bean shapes and swirling floral motifs. Its not a simple density fill, its almost like a zentangle pattern hooped onto a mug.
And then the steam column rises from the opening and just keeps going, taking up more vertical space than the orange cup shape below it. All those arabesque curls and floral scrolls continue upward in orange and black, weaving together into a dense decorative tower that tapers at the very top. At the 10-inch thats over 41k stitches total, so make sure your bobbin is full before you start and keep a spare wound.
A customer hooped the 8-inch on a black cotton canvas tote for a market stall and the orange pops hard against the dark ground. Thats where this design lives best, somewhere it can be a full centrepiece. Skip anything under 7 inches, the lace-like arabesque detail loses resolution and the whole piece suffers for it.
Use medium cutaway stabiliser. Add water-soluble film above the cup fill sections if youre stitching on textured or loopy fabric. Dont rush the hoop setup. Pulled together alot of reference for the arabesque fills on this one, so Reach me a chat if your machine stutters on the long jump sections and Ill check the file and rebuild it fast.

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.
