Teacher arches along the top curve in thick rounded black caps, spaced to follow the circle shape. Below it a small red apple icon sits right at the centre top with tiny gold swirl accents on either side. Then gonna fills the middle in huge chunky black letters, the biggest text in the whole design, bold enough to read across a room. Below that Teach sits in a slightly smaller but still weighty block script. A short yellow pencil icon runs horizontally through the Teach line, crossing through the middle like a divider. Four red diagonal dash accents flank the pencil on both sides like short rays. A delicate leaf-and-vine branch curves along the very bottom, fine black linework, a small white heart nestled in the centre of it.
Four colours total. Charcoal-black handles all the lettering, the pencil is gold-yellow, the apple and dashes are red, the heart accent is white. Very clear stops, no ambiguity. Set up so jumps don't show on the arc text, the gonna block uses a dense satin fill with crisp outside edges and the top arc text is set in a consistent column width so it doesnt pinch at the curve ends. Stitch count tops out at 14,725 on the largest 5.92-inch version which keeps this in the medium range, it stitches out quickly for something that looks this substantial.
I've had a lot of people buy this one for back to school shirst and it makes sense becuse the quote is direct and reads instantly. No long sentence, just a declaration. A customer who made a batch of ten for her school's teaching team last august told me the badge shape works great as a full front chest piece on a tee and just as well as a medium pocket-area emblem. Smallest size is 2.96 by 3.01 inches and biggest is 5.92 by 6.01, four sizes across that range.
Works on anything from cotton tee to canvas tote to denim shirt. White, black, grey or school-colour fabrics all carry this well because the charcoal-black lettering is strong enough to read on both light and dark backgrounds. Use a medium cutaway for knits, tearaway works fine on firm wovens. Hoop snugly, the arc at the top needs to stay evenly tensioned or the letter spacing drifts. Add water-soluble topping on any pilled or textured fleece so the fine vine branch at the bottom stays readable.
Run the four colour stops in file order: black lettering first, then apple, pencil, then the white heart last. Skip the topping on smooth poplin or tightly woven cotton, you wont need it. Dm me if the arched top letters stitch unevenly and Ill suggest tension settings.

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.
