Drew this one up in early January because I wanted something graphic and modern rather than the soft romantic look most valentines designs go for. Just 2 thread colours, red and black, and the whole thing sits inside a heart-shaped cluster. The XOXO lettering in the centre is hand-lettered style, chunky brush strokes, the Xs are in black while the Os come in red so they bounce off each other.
Stitch range is 10,674 at the smallest up to 32,753 at the largest, so its not a heavy dense design, the fill areas are loose enough that it runs quicker than you might expect for something this size. Back with polymesh on lighter knit fabrics. 2 colour changes total means you set it up, swap thread once, and youre done.
People keep ordering this one for sweatshirts and I get why. The red-black combo works on grey, white, and black fabric equally well which makes it genuinely versatile for people who sell at markets. Drop it on a zip pouch and it looks the part too.
Pop in a sharp 75/11 needle for the text fills and choose a tearaway if youre stitching on woven cotton. Sizes run from 3.51 inches up to 7.51 inches wide. Drop me a note if theres a size issue and Ill sort it.
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.
- Sweatshirt chest print alternative using thread instead of inkWorks on grey, white, or black fleece sweatshirts, the two-colour design stays readable on any base.
- Valentine market stall tote bags with a graphic lookGreat for canvas totes at craft markets; the graphic style reads as modern rather than overly sweet.
- Kids school bags or pencil cases for FebruaryStitch the small 3.51 inch size on a pencil case front panel using tearaway backing.
- Zip pouches for last-minute valentines day giftsTwo colour stops means quick turnaround on zip pouches, popular for last-minute valentine orders.
- Patch-style embroidery on denim jackets or jeansIron-on backing turns this into a patch; centre it on a back denim jacket pocket for a bolder look.
- Bedroom cushion covers for a bold two-colour statementCentre the large 7.51 inch size on a cushion cover; red and black pops on both light and dark fabric.

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.
