Fishermen know this fish. That wide jaw, the dark lateral blotches, the way it looks coming out of the water, this is a largemouth bass rendered properly, not as a cartoon but as a realistic illustration in thread. The olive-green body shading, the cream belly, the orange fins with their individual ray lines, the aqua stripe along the flank. Its genuinely accurate to what the fish looks like and that matters to the people who buy fishing-theme gifts.
7 colour stops in sequence. my embroidery software used directional satin fills that follow the body contour so the scales read as having depth and movement rather than flat colour blocks. At 1261 stitches per square inch the density is high. Back it with a firm woven cutaway and keep your bobbin tension consistent throughout, uneven bobbin tension is what causes colour banding on high-density designs like this one.
5 sizes from 2.06 inches across climbing to 7.50 inches. Stitch counts go from 17,324 to 41,612. The 4 to 5 inch range is where most customers land for caps and shirt pockets. Dm us before you start if youre stitching on a structured cap panel, we can advise on foam backing options. One customer last month messaged me after stitching it at 5 inches on matching caps for a fishing tournament team and said they looked better than the branded caps they usually buy. Pop it on a structured cap with a foam insert for best results. A fishing buddy of mine tested the 4-in piece on a khaki trucker cap and it looked sharper than most store-bought fishing hats Ive seen.

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.
