Worked up this one as a seriously compact stacked layout, the kind that fits neatly on a patch or shirt pocket. The top has a red cursive script "You Are" with a tiny red heart floating above the letters. Below that, big bold black block text and alternating red lines stack through strong, worthy, and loved. On either side, simple outline leaf sprigs frame the whole thing, kinda just sketched in so they dont steal focus from the words.
Its a tighter square format, gonna sit differently on a project than a wide word-cloud. The leaf sprigs use outline-only satin so they stay light visually. Two colours total: 2,575 black stitches and 2,471 red at the 2-inch size, scaling all the way up to 18,608 combined at the largest.
Specs: 5 sizes from 2 to 4 inch wide. Stitch range 5,048 to 18,608. Color changes 1, trims 35 to 42 across sizes. Digitising done in my main digitising tool with directional satin on the block letters. Use a tearaway stabiliser for cotton and linen. For small patch sizes below 3 inch a cutaway gives better stability since the underlay needs something firm to register against. Add topping if youre hooping polar fleece so the outline leaf stitches dont sink into the nap.
One customer ordered three for new mum hospital bag gifts and said the recipients all teared up reading the words. Last week someone sent me a photo of a set of 12 framed hoops she made for a fundraiser display. Works on canvas bags, tea towels, and denim jacket patches at the 4-inch size. Reach out if you need help picking the right hoop size for your 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.
