Eighteen colours is alot, I know. But this fawn needed em all, because the spot pattern alone uses about six different cream and white tones to look soft instead of graphic. I built this one in november for a nursery client who wanted something that felt warm and gentle but not saccharine. The result is this little baby deer with big eyes, wobbly legs, white spots, and a tiny flower at its feet.
Nine sizes, from a 3.5 to a 7.5 inches, stitch count tops at 44,889 on the largest. Density is 124, which is comfortable for knits and woven cotton alike. I digitised it in industry-grade software with directional fur stitching on the body, each section has the threads angled to follow the natural direction of a deer's coat so the shading doesnt look flat. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser on stretch fabrics, and tearaway on woven cotton or linen. With 18 thread changes, make sure send me message if the colour sequence gets jumbled in your software, Ive got the colour order written out.
People have been buying this mostly for nursery stuff, blanket corners, onesies, wall art hoops. The soft colours work on white, cream, sage green, and pale yellow backgrounds without losing the warmth. Add topping on minky or fleece so the spot details dont sink into the pile. Avoid ironing directly on the thread after stitching, the caramel tones can dull under high heat.
Try the 3 in micro on a onesie bodysuit with cutaway, small enough not to be overwhelming on newborn sizes, and the spots are still clear. Press under a damp cloth rather than direct heat to set the threads after stitching.

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.
