Got this one done last spring and its been one of my favourite space pieces Ive digitised so far. The astronaut is hunched forward, gripping the rocket handles like its a motorbike, helmet visor down, full spacesuit with all the little detail panels stitched out in white and grey. And then below that theres this massive swirling fireball tail, yellow fading into orange fading into red, kinda like those old hot rod flame graphics but in space. Really fun vibe.
the digitising software handled the 6 colour sequence well. The flame sections use alot of directional satin fill so the orange transitions dont look muddy, and the suit details come through clearly in white with black outlines. Runs 50,525 stitches around the mid-hoop sweep up to 84,252 stitches at the 8 inch size. Hoop with a heavy cutaway underneath. The flame section especially needs it or the density will pull the fabric. And dont cheap out on the stabiliser here, the 6-colour density is real.
Buyers keep asking if I can scale it bigger for jacket backs and large hoop art. One customer last week stitched it on a kids birthday shirt and sent the picture. Pop it on a navy or charcoal tee and the yellow and orange just jump off the fabric. I wouldnt try white fabric for this one, the light colours in the suit area get lost. Stitch the 8 inch version on jacket backs when you want maximum impact. Skip thin jersey fabrics, go for a stable cotton twill or canvas where the satin sections sit flush.
Holler at me if the download link gives you trouble and Ill get it sorted right away.

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.
