Four christmas ghosts, 4 sizes, tallest version hits 7.51 inches high on 1.99 inches wide, so its a portrait-format composition rather than the square or landscape shapes youll usually see for holiday designs. Theyre walking in a horizontal row, each wearing a red santa hat with holly and berries stitched into the brim, and each carrying something different. First one has a gift bag and a light strand, second holds a wrapped box, third wears a lil red cape and cradles another gift, and the fourth is holding a gingerbread man figure.
7 colour stops across the whole group, stitch range 20952 to 35786, and the density tops out at 1440 which is dense for a design this tall. The rounded ghost bodies are rendered in tight satin fill with directional underlay underneath so white thread stays bright rather than going chalky. Ive had a customer order this for a set of halloween-to-christmas transitional sweatshirts, which is honestly genius because a ghost motif works in October and December alike. Use a heavyweight cutaway stabiliser, this density needs it, and run your bobbin tension check before you start.
Dm me if the vertical orientation is causing your hooping trouble. Most modern machines handle a 4x7 range just fine, but if youre on an older hoop you may need to check clearance. Pair this with a sweatshirt in dark grey or black for the most visual impact. Avoid pale fabrics where ghostly outlines blend in. Hoop centre, run a placement stitch first.

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.
