Dont let the title fool you into thinking this is just a basic tool row. The design has a crown-like fan arrangement, tools radiating upward like a badge or crest, with a wide ribbon banner below that has a clear blank space in the middle for personalisation. Two hammers anchor both sides of the spread, a handsaw points up on the left side of centre, and a screwdriver, wrench, pliers and utility knife fill out the rest of the arc.
The banner underneath has proper ribbon folds on both ends, not just a rectangle box. Its the kind of detail that makes this work for shop signage patches or personalised gifts where a name or text goes inside. Stitch a name into the banner in a second colour and youve got something that looks like a proper custom badge. Hoop polymesh stabiliser under denim or canvas here, the density hits 598 per square inch at the larger sizes.
5 sizes from 2.35 inches to 5.02 inches wide, stitches compact at the small end reaching up to 22,526 at the largest. Pop the 5-inch size into a 6x6 or 7x7 hoop for plenty of stabiliser grip around the edges. Cutaway works better than tearaway at the bigger sizes because the fill is dense and the backing holds the shape better long-term.
People have been ordering this one fairly consistently for father's day personalised gifts this year, the blank banner is what makes it stand out from the plain tool designs. Its one of the more practical layouts in the workshop range for anyone wanting to add a custom touch.

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.
