VIBES runs across in huge chunky block letters, each one a different colour from the Pan-African flag. The V is red. I and B are green. E is yellow. S goes back to red. Then juneteenth in that big looping black cursive just floats right over the top of all of it, and 1865 sits underneath in solid black. Its a layered design and when its stitched it has real depth because the script sits visually forward of the block fill letters behind it.
Four colours, red, green, gold and black. The block letter fills do most the stitch count, density at 728 which is higher than average because those big fills need solid coverage. Count climbs from 8,141 on the smallest up to 21,180 on the 8-inch tall version. Theres alot of parallel fill sections so your machine runs at a steady rhythm through them, its a satisfying stitch-out honestly.
This sells well every june from late may onwards. People order juneteenth event shirts, family reunion tops, community day tees. The design is narrow and tall so it fits on a shirt chest without spreading too wide. A couple of craft vendors I know grab it every year for their pop-up booths and they always tell me it moves within the first hour of opening.
Use cutaway stabiliser on all fabric types given that density, you really dont want pull on those block fills. Cotton and canvas are the go-to fabrics here. Pop the 6-inch on a white or cream shirt and those red green and gold fills read perfectly against the clean ground. Skip busy patterned fabrics because the design already has alot going on with four colours and two type styles.
Anything funky with the file on stitch-out just message me through the shop and ill take a look right away.

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.
