Pulled together this butterfly and heart combination for customers looking for something with a bit more life than a plain heart. The red hearts have long calligraphy ribbon tails on em, real flowing decorative style, kinda like the hearts are trailing silk ribbons. Then 6 black butterfly silhouettes float around the outside at different angles like theyre attracted to the whole arrangement.
Two colours only, red and black. The hearts and their tails are all red satin fill, the butterflies are solid black satin. Youre doing 1 colour change at the machine. Density sits at 365 which is moderate, hoops up cleanly on cotton, linen and light denim. Use a medium weight tearaway stabiliser on woven fabrics, cutaway behind any stretch knit.
5 sizes from 3.45 by 3.5 inches up to 7.4 by 7.49 inches, pretty close to square at all sizes which is kinda nice because it centres well on a round hoop or a shirt front without feeling lopsided. Stitch count 7,230 to 20,211. Pair it on any light neutral fabric and the 2 colour contrast shows at its best.
I really like how this looks on cream or oatmeal fabric, the black butterflies get a softness against a warm neutral that you dont get on white. My daughter asked me to put the 5-in size for her valentines day tote last february and honestly it came out gorgeous. The butterflies make it wearable year round without screaming valentines which is what alot of customers really want. Skip busy patterned fabrics, the detail gets lost on anything that isnt fairly plain.

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.
