So the eagle here isnt a cartoon bird or a clip-art silhouette. Its a proper portrait. The head sits in three-quarter profile facing right, beak slightly open like its about to say something. The crown of the head is a solid block of deep royal blue packed with white five-point stars in a tight grid pattern, same layout as the flag canton. Below that the neck feathers fan out and each feather is individually filled: alternating red and white satin strips with a few grey shadow feathers mixed in to give depth and stop it looking flat. The beak is a warm golden yellow with a darker orange base, and the eye is a tight amber circle with a bold pupil that gives the whole thing real intensity.
14 colours in my usual software and the density hits 1164 stitches per square inch on the largest size, so this is genuinely a high-stitch-count piece. Four sizes from 5 by 4.08 inches up to 7.96 by 6.52 inches, stitch range 34k to 60k. Use a firm medium-to-heavy cutaway stabiliser and keep hoop tension steady. The feather fills use a directional angle change between each stripe so they catch light differently, which is what makes it look woven rather than printed. Skip light tearaway on this one, the stitch density will pull it apart mid-run.
A customer picked up the 7-inch version last fourth of July for a veterans group jacket project and sent me a pic of six of them stitched in a row across the back panel. Every single one came out clean, which tells you the file is solid even at volume. Pop it on navy, white, tan or olive denim and the colour palette works without fighting the background.
Drop a line if the red stripe registration wanders on your machine and Ill sort the colour run order.

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.
