This watermelon bow design got recieved alot of interest after I posted it last summer, alright Im not suprised because the whole soft girl summer look took off everywhere. Hand-drawn slice with a tall sage bow on top, summery and sweet without going overly cute. The 11 sizes cover everything from tiny accent up to 6.56 inches wide which fits a tea towel beautifully. Seven thread changes total, the coral pink flesh and the sage bow read as the main colour blocks.
Stitch count starts at 10355 on the smallest 2.19 inch version and climbs to 47715 on the biggest 6.56 inch one. Density runs at 969 spi at the count, moderate density. go a size up on the hoop and use a fresh medium weight cutaway, the bow loop satin needs firm backing or itll collapse on stretchy fabric.
loop bow thes have directional satin underlay so the curves hold shape, dont skip topping over textured cotton or waffle weave because the satin will sink into the texture. Slow the machine to 800 spm because soft coral fill is wide and dense, and the rind edge needs clean registration against the pink flesh. Stitch this on cream cotton ducks, ivory linen, or soft pink cotton for the sweetest summer vibe. Avoid dark backgrounds, the coral and lime lose punch and the bow disappears.
a customer ordered the design for her daughters birthday picnic, she ran the 5-inch chest for cream cotton table runner and matched the 3-inch piece on coordinating napkins. Another the ordered customer smallest size on a sun hat for her toddler. Text me a chat if loop bow the puckers on your hoop and Ill rework the underlay sequence for ya.

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.
