Its a side-view of a classic football and the design breaks it down into three clean colour zones. The main body is a warm tan satin fill that goes wall to wall inside the oval. A deep dark brown outline runs around the outer edge and frames the centre lace panel. Two vertical stripe panels near each tip and the short lace rectangles themselves run in off-white, the kind of detail every football fan will recognise straight away.
Three colours total, so theres 2 colour changes during the run. The density on this one is relatively high at 1123 points, which means the fill sections stitch out smooth and full rather than sparse. Smallest size comes in at just under 1 inch wide and around 3,855 stitches, the largest at 3.69 inches wide tops out around 24,900 stitches. my main digitising tool digitising keeps the satin columns on the outline flat without rippling.
Last summer a customer ordered this for her sons whole little league team, bags and tees all matching, said the parents couldnt believe she made them herself. Works really nicely as a pocket badge, sleeve patch, or centred on the back of a cap. The smaller sizes sit well on cap fronts and bag tags, the larger ones suit shirt backs and sports bags.
Use a cutaway stabiliser for knit fabrics and anything stretchy. Tearaway works on woven cotton and canvas. Skip sheer or loosely woven fabrics since the dense fill can distort thin material. Run a test stitch before doing a full batch if youre hitting a pile fabric like fleece.

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.
