So this one has three distinct elements and they all work together better than they should. The word TEACHER sits in the centre in chunky rounded letters with a heavy dark outline, each letter a different hue running from warm red on the J through orange, yellow and green on the R, like someone ran a rainbow gradient across the whole word. Its not subtle but thats kind of the whole point.
Above the word, a loose wild floral arrangement spills upward and sideways: red poppies, soft pink blooms, small tan wheat-style seed heads, and green leaf stems that go in different directions like theyre actually growing rather than arranged. Some stems are taller than others, some flowers overlap, its all very deliberately imprecise. And below the word a coloured pencil lies diagonally, barrel in pink and orange gradient, yellow-green eraser tip, graphite point at the far end. Nine colours total, and the software I use kept everything well-separated so the colour stops are predictable.
Five sizes from 3.66 by 4 inches up to 7.3 by 8, so youll go from a hat patch up to a full tote front. Stitch count is 19,991 at the smallest and 42,804 at the biggest. A customer had the large size done on the the back of a denim coat for their daughters form teacher last year and the school posted a photo of her wearing it, which I think is the best possible review. Density sits at 733 stitches per square inch, medium-heavy, so the floral fills have real body without being stiff.
Apply medium cutaway behind on woven fabrics, heavy cutaway on denim or canvas. Hoop firmly, the multi-colour letter fills will shift if the fabric moves mid-stitch. Try the design on a natural or pale blue base for the full rainbow pop, dark fabric flattens the lighter letter shades. Keep thread tension even through the pencil section, the angled satin fill on the barrel dosent like a loose upper thread.

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.
