Knocked out this baby bat one after a customer asked for something halloween thats not scary for her daughters room. The lil bat is hanging off a crescent moon, those big shiny eyes staring back at you, wings just barely gripping the edge. And then theres stars scattered everywhere, spider webs on the moon tips, and some fluffy clouds puffed around the sides. Kinda like a halloween dream you'd actually want to have.
Its all single 1 colour black thread which keeps the stitch time reasonable. Five sizes in the file from 3.5 inches across spanning 7.51 inches, so you can go small for a pocket detail or go full chest for a hoodie. Stitch count runs 7,428 on the smallest up to 14,717 on the largest. Hoop it snug, the web sections have alot of directional stitching that pulls if your stabiliser isnt holding firm.
But honestly the magic here is the fine line details inside the wings. Each wing panel has this lace-like crosshatched underlay that actually reads as wing membrane texture, not just a flat satin fill. I realy take pride in that kind of thing. Pop firm cutaway knits and fleece, tearaway works fine on cotton and canvas.
Best placement Ive seen so far is centred on a black tee with white or silver thread, or on a natural linen tote bag. One customer stitched it on a cream pillow cover for her kids bedroom and sent a quick pic last october, looked brilliant. Pick a mid-weight cotton or a tight canvas weave and youll get the cleanest line definition on those little web points.
Hit me up if anything seems off with the file or those web corners look off on your machine, Ill sort it out same day.

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.
