I made this one this summer after I kept getting requests for a space design that wasnt just a rocket or a planet. The astronaut floating in front of the galaxy felt more personal, like someone actually out there in it. Nine colours, white suit, charcoal grey details, navy and indigo galaxy swirl, teal nebula patches, a coral planet, yellow stars, black outlines. Nine sizes from 3.5 scaling to 7.5 inches, stitch count maxes out at 48,474 on the largest.
Density is 134, which gives good coverage without the fill going card-stiff. I digitised it in my professional tool with layered satin on the spacesuit and tatami fill on the galaxy background so the texture difference between the figure and the space behind is visible. Back it with fusible mesh under on knits, there are alot of colour sections here and with 9 thread changes the stabiliser is doing real work holding shape. Hoop tight, dont let the fabric relax before you start or the registration between the astronaut and the galaxy swirl drifts.
Send a note if the file gives you trouble and Ill get it sorted. Works best on navy, black, or dark indigo fabric where the galaxy colours blend with the background and the white suit pops. Ive had customers stitch this on kids jean jackets at 6 inches, the navy jacket background basically extends the galaxy fill and it looks like the astronaut is floating on the fabric itself. Suprising how well that works actually.
Avoid busy patterned fabrics, the galaxy detail gets lost. Pick a solid. Run the machine at medium speed on the visor, its a small satin column and rushing it pulls the underlay out of place. Text me a quick note if you want a smaller galaxy variant and Ill prep the file.

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.
