Three hearts stacked on a diagonal. Bottom-left holds the biggest, middle has a slightly smaller one tilted the opposite way, top-right finishes with a tiny one. Each heart is drawn as a loose loop-back outline, the sort of thing you doodle in the margin of a notebook without lifting your pen. No fills, just open line work in red thread.
Red colour only, single thread, no stops. Sizes are tiny, this is meant for delicate placements. Stitch range covers 1,169 on the smallest 1.51-inch up to 3,920 on the largest 4.51-inch. Density is 257 which is light, so the design sits flat on linen napkins, lightweight cotton, and even silk if youre hooping with a tearaway underneath. Digitised in my main digitising tool with running stitch on the outlines and a tight bean-stitch reinforcement on the curves, which is what gives the loops that proper sketched feel rather than a smooth machine outline.
Worksheet specs: 6 trims, max stitch length 5.1mm, total thread 18.8 feet on the smallest size. Run a 75/11 sharp needle on woven fabric for clean line definition. For knit jersey switch to a 75/11 ballpoint so the open stitches dont catch.
People have been ordering this one for valentines day card-making, the 1.51-inch fits perfectly inside a 2-inch felt pocket on a handmade card front. One customer ordered 12 of em on small linen sachets last february and stuffed em with lavender, she sells em at a local farmers market and wanted me to make sure they hooped consistently across all 12, they did.
Skip velvet and heavy fleece, the open outlines need a smooth surface to read clean. Stabilise lightweight fabric with a single layer of tearaway and remove gently after, the thin running stitch wont survive aggressive tearing. Pair the tiny 1.51-inch with a 4x4 hoop for fast batch production on valentines day gift items.
Email me your machine type if you want a version with the hearts spaced wider for napkin corners, ill rework the spacing.

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.
