A yellow pencil sits at a slight angle, pink eraser at the top right and dark navy pointed tip at the lower left. Sitting on the pencil barrel is a small bunch of flowers, a white open daisy front and centre, smaller pink berry-type blooms tucked in beside it, and dark green leaves behind the cluster. Then below all of that, in a flowing black cursive that curves slightly upward, the word Teacher. Ten colours, 10 color changes so its a full needle-change run.
Nine sizes from 2.32 by 2.51 inches at 8,851 stitches up to 6.00 by 6.51 inches at 26,513 stitches. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on canvas and cotton twill. Dont run this on thin jersey at the larger sizes because the 679 stitch density pulls through lightweight knit. Hoop snug. Pop the machine speed down on the script letterforms so the satin columns stay dense and the Teacher text reads cleanly.
Ive sold this one year-round but it gets a spike every september and every june around appreciation gifts. I get messages every end of year from people buying multiples. A buyer couple months ago ordered the 3 in run on 12 canvas tote bags for a whole teaching team at her kids school. She said the 10-stop sequence ran smoothly once she dialled in the tension on the script colour. Skip thin muslin on anything above 4 inches. Best fabrics are firm cotton canvas, twill and denim.

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.
