Real cute one this. A black silhouette reindeer mid-leap, antlers up, framed under a rainbow arch made of stacked aqua and red satin bands. The outer black rim of the arch is studded with little orange and red oval bulb lights, and a scattering of small orange stars floats around the reindeers body. Kinda boho rainbow meets Christmas, the kind of design that works as much on a nursery onesie as a holiday tee.
Four colours total, red + orange + aqua + black. Black does the heavy lift on the outer arch ring and the reindeer silhouette, running 2,477 stitches on the smallest 2.51-inch wide version up to 5,844 on the 5.37-inch wide one. Total stitch range goes 6,008 small to 16,330 large. Density sits at 405 so the satin columns of the rainbow stay flat and dont rope or twist where they curve at the top. Ive digitised the satin bands in the digitising software with a directional underlay running parallel to the arch curve, kinda like a contour pass.
A customer ran the 3.5 piece on a heather grey toddler sweatshirt for a Christmas card photo shoot. Used 30wt poly for slightly thicker thread look, plus a layer of cutaway behind and water-soluble topping on top to stop the satin sinking into the fleece pile. Sent a pic of the kid wearing it on the porch with snow boots, gonna be honest it was kinda the cutest thing.
Stitch the 2.51-inch on a baby beanie cuff. Pop the 3.5 detail on a flat-knit onesie centre chest. Pick the 4.5-inch for a quilt block square. Use the 5.37-inch on the back yoke of a denim jacket for kids. Avoid stretchy lycra, even with topping those arch columns distort. Best on cotton fleece, jersey with a stable knit, brushed cotton, or cotton linen blends, hoop firmly and dont skimp on the underlay setup or the rainbow bands will gap at the curves.

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.
