Heres the baseball gnome and hes proper kitted out. Red ball cap pulled low so the brim covers the eyes. Long white beard spilling down past the jersey. One hand gripping a wooden bat resting on the shoulder, the other holding a brown leather glove with a tan baseball tucked inside. Pinstripe pants. Tiny boots peeking out the bottom. The whole stance reads ready-for-the-mound.
Its a busy little design. 20 colour changes total because the digitiser broke out separate fills for the cap shadow, hat brim, beard texture lines, jersey body, jersey shoulder seam, glove webbing, ball stitches, bat grain, pinstripe stripes and boot leather. Sounds like alot but in person it just reads as a chunky storybook gnome with proper baseball detail. Honestly the bat alone has 3 brown tones running directional satin so you see the wood grain.
I get messages from baseball mums about this one almost every week. One customer in Ohio ordered the 7-inch last summer for her sons little-league coach as a thank-you gift. Stitched it on a navy duffle bag. She sent photos. The cap red just glowed against navy.
Stitch on solid colour fabric. Best results come on white, navy, charcoal grey or red team colours. Heather grey works aswell on tees. Skip patterned cloth here, the gnome has so much going on already that any background pattern fights it.
Density runs heavy. Top size pushes 77k stitches and the bat-glove area packs alot of overlap so a heavy cutaway stabiliser is non-negotiable on tees and bags. Tear-away on a thick canvas duffle is fine. Hoop firm and use a wash-away topping if youre stitching on fleece or pile fabrics. Shoot me a quick message if your machine throws a colour-stop error and ill resequence 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.
