The words Teach, love and inspire are stacked into a really nice tight composition. Teach sits at the top in flowing cursive, realy generous loops on the T and h. Love in the middle goes bold and chunky, heavier fill than the script sections. Then inspire comes back to a loose script at the bottom. Two red apples sit either side of the middle text with small green leaves and thin tan stems. Above the whole thing theres a little starburst in red, just 6 or so short rays radiating out.
4 colours total: charcoal black for the lettering, red for the apples and starburst, green for the leaves, tan for the stem detail. Stitch count runs from 4,584 on the smallest 2-inch up to 16,007 at the full 5.9-inch size. Density sits at a manageable 451 so its not heavy at all on lighter fabrics. Good knit-friendly cutaway on woven or canvas does the job fine here.
I get notes for this constantly from school staff. One teacher asked me last september if she could print the design on her own and I had to explain its a machine embroidery file, not a clipart. She was so surprised she actually ordered 3 units of different sizes and did her first embroidery project on a canvas pouch for her department head. Send me a note if you run into any issue with the download and Ill help you sort it right away.
Use the 5.9-inch on a teacher tote bag or an apron front. The 2-inch size is a brilliant little pocket patch for a cardigan or a name badge lanyard pouch. Stitch on cream, white or light grey linen or cotton for cleanest read. Skip busy printed fabrics, the thin script letters need a calm background to show properly. Send a quick note if anything looks off and Ill resend the file.

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.
