Feathery pine garland, long branches stretch outward from a small red bow knotted at the top centre. Pine needles read textured and soft, my software mapped the directional stitching along every branch so the foliage reads like real evergreen instead of flat satin blocks. Tiny round cranberry dots tuck between branches at intervals. Horizontal silhouette, four sizes available, 0.76 to 1.26 inches across the slim axis and 4.51 to 7.51 along the long axis. Big footprint, slim height.
Three threads carry it: bright leaf green sits across upper feathery needles, dark forest green grounds the underside and the deeper shadow texture, and deep cranberry handles bow plus berry dots. Density runs heavy 1179, those needles want crisp fills especially at smaller sizes, the stitch totals climb 6763 right through 11156 to match. Total of 38 trim points and 2 thread changes during run, the count looks scary but the machine handles each transition smoothly with proper backing underneath.
Had one customer order last december, she stitched cream cotton christmas stockings for her grand kids. Placed widest 7.51 size across each stocking cuff just under loop, then added kids initials below the bow. Says the bow gave perfect anchor point for letter placement. Asked about pine garland stockings before but folks also do banner panels, gift bag fronts and christmas card inserts on linen panels. Letters fit beautifully under the garland cos the bow already establishes vertical centre.
Hoop heavy cutaway stabiliser, those needle fills want full backing or fabric will pucker. Press from the underside on a folded towel so soft texture stays plump. Stitch onto cream cotton, oatmeal linen, ivory wool felt or red felt. Skip shiny satin or polyester sheen fabric, the evergreen reading needs matte base to show that depth, the contrast collapses on shiny weaves. Centre bow at stocking cuff seam for tidy alignment. Message me about any file trouble, ill swap the format quick for ya. Its no hassle. Im on chat most days. Youre never stuck. Thats how I run this. I dont charge for swaps.

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.
