6 colors, 5 sizes, and its the peekaboo pose that gets people every time. The reindeer is just barely cresting the frame, antlers loaded up with red and green Christmas lights, those big goofy eyes looking straight at you like he got caught doing something. The wire strands loop between the bulbs in thin black thread, which is a really nice touch once its hooped up and on fabric.
The face fill uses directional satin in a warm tan-brown, with a separate brown layer for the deeper shading across the snout and ear areas. White highlights on the eyes, that big red nose, and then dark green for the light bulbs. Six colors total, 5 color changes, which honestly stitches out faster than you'd expect for how detailed it looks. One customer ordered the large size for a kids Christmas stocking last december and said her daughter thought it was Rudolph specifically, not just any reindeer. And that antler spread on the 6 inch version is wide enough that it really fills a stocking cuff properly.
Hoop with a cutaway stabiliser behind the fabric before you start, this ones got enough density around the face area that a tearaway wont hold it flat. Use the 3 inch smallest size on a pocket or sleeve, Ive run it on fleece and it holds the detail on the bulbs well. Skip the tearaway on knits or anything with stretch, cutaway only. Stitch a 6-inch chest on cream fleece for stockings and you'll see why people keep coming back for more christmas designs from this shop.

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.
