Alright so I wasnt sure how the candy corn stripe pattern would translate onto a pointed hat shape but honestly it worked out better than expected. Fourteen thousand two hundred and ninety stitches, eight colours, density at 240, not overly dense so it'll sit comfortable on lighter fabric without puckering. Digitised in my embroidery software with the satin bands running horizontally across the hat body to really lock in that striped look, and thats what sells that iconic halloween candy effect on fabric.
The trick with alot of multi-stripe designs like this is getting the colour register tight so the bands dont blur at the edges. I used clean underlay passes under each satin band so the stripe transitions are sharp even after a few washes. One customer ordered this last october for a halloween market and she put it on a bunch of canvas zip pouches, she said the stripes held up even after hand-washing which was her main concern. Add a soft mesh on canvas or cotton twill, and tearaway works fine on smooth quilting cotton if you dont want cutaway on lighter items.
Pick your stabiliser based on your base fabric really. The hat shape sits nicely on a left chest spot, a tote bag pocket, or a candy bag front panel. Avoid sewing on stretchy jersey without cutaway, the satin columns will pucker if the fabric pulls. Eight colour stops so prep your machine ahead of time and pull all your bobbins before you start.

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.
