Its a black paw print with wings. Not in a cutesy way, more in a quiet memorial way. The paw sits dead centre and the wings spread out on both sides like a proper angels wingspan, each feather a separate pointed segment with open voids between em so the background fabric shows through. Wide and horizontal, almost banner-like, which is why it works well on a chest pocket or across a bag strap.
One colour, alot of character. Because its single-thread black, the design depends entirely on stitch direction to give it dimension. professional digitising software digitised every feather section with directional stitching so they catch light differently and the paw itself sits solid against the lacy wing structure. Stitch counts run from just over 5,000 on the 3-in micro size up to roughly 11,000 on the 7.5-inch. And because its basically a horizontal band, hoop pressure stays even the whole run. I started selling this one last october after a customer ordered it for a memorial tee for her dog who passed. She wanted something that felt real, not cartoon-y. Since then I get messages from people whove lost cats and rabbits aswell, and honestly this one handles all of em.
Try it on a soft grey fleece vest, the open feather voids let the fabric breathe through. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven cotton and switch to cutaway if youre stitching on fleece or sweatshirt jersey. Pair the 7.5-inch across a tote bag front or a denim jacket yoke and use the small 3.5 piece on a pocket or collar band. Avoid very textured fabrics like terry or waffle knit because those voids collect loops.

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.
