Drew up this XOXO design after alot of customers asked for something with more attitude than the usual sweet heart stuff. The layout is a horizontal banner, wide not tall, so it fits nicely across a chest or along the waist of a tote. Each X is a thick chunky black cross done in satin fill and the two O spots are replaced with big red graffiti hearts that have a lil drip detail at the bottom point.
3 colours total: black for the letter crosses, red for the hearts, white for the small highlight marks inside the hearts. But honestly the white is such a small area youre not gonna notice if you swap it. The whole thing reads instantly without any text explaining what it is.
Smallest size is 1.13 inches tall which is a narrow banner, goes well on a hat brim or a pocket. Largest hits 7.51 inches so you can go full chest on a sweatshirt no problem. Stitch count runs 2,973 to 5,842 so its on the lighter side even at full size, stitches up fast.
I get messages every valentines asking if this works on dark fabric and yeah it does. Black and red both pop on charcoal, navy, even black cotton. Use a cutaway stabiliser if youre hooping knit jersey, tearaway works fine on woven cotton shirts.
And the density is 324, not too tight, so it lays flat on lighter fabrics without pulling. Check bobbin tension before you start on the bigger sizes.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Valentines day sweatshirtsThe wide banner shape fits perfectly across the front of a crewneck sweatshirt for a bold valentines day look.
- Hat brim accentsThe smallest 1.13 inch version drops across a hat brim for a subtle street art accent without being too loud.
- Tote bag chest panelsCentred on a book club tote the design reads clearly from 10 feet away thanks to the graphic black and red contrast.
- Couples matching teesPut the same size on two white tees and you have a matching couples set that doesnt look too try-hard.
- Zip pouch front panelsA medium size on the front panel of a zip pouch makes a quick valentines gift item that looks custom made.
- Denim jacket back yokeRun the largest size across the back yoke of a denim jacket for a statement piece that works year round.

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.
