This tiger cub is sat up on its haunches reaching one chubby paw toward a butterfly that floats just out of reach. The butterfly is tiny, blue and white and sits upper-left of the composition which balances the whole frame nicely. Blue flower tucked behind the right ear, which sounds a bit fussy but it works. The eyes are those big wide cartoon circles in sky blue with a white highlight dot, and theyre aimed directly at the butterfly so theres a clear little story happening.
Orange satin on the main body with bold black stripe shapes in fill stitch over the top. The muzzle area is a separate white section with individual whisker lines radiating out. Paws have rounded pink pad shapes in a softer satin, very characterful. Thirteen colours total, which is a lot, but none of them feel unnecessary when you see it stitched. It runs heavy, 65k on the big size, so its a proper dense slow job.
The biggest size is a good 7.5 by 7.1 inches, smallest 3.5 by 3.3. Nine sizes all up. Density is 1,229 stitches per square inch so you want smooth stable fabric. One customer ordered this for a white minky baby blanket and said the stripe detail held brilliantly even on the soft pile. I did a test run on quilted cotton last spring and it came out looking properly printed, not like embroidery at all.
Use white cotton or pale cream to give the orange the most punch. Avoid anything textured or stretchy, the detail wont realise on those. Pick a cutaway stabiliser given the stitch density. Float a water-soluble topping on anything with a nap so the stripe outlines stay crisp. Message me if a colour or two gives you grief on a particular machine.

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.
