Round snow globe shape, the full circle filled solid with one thread colour, and the Christmas tree scene carved out as negative space. So the tree branches, the star topper, the little snow drifts at the base, and a few scattered snowflake dots are all formed by where the thread isnt. Its a single-colour silhouette, and the whole design lives or dies on the precision of those cutout shapes within the filled circle. my digitising suite got them clean.
9 hoops scaling 3.5 inch up to 7.5 inch wide. Stitch counts go from 17,260 to 40,719. Single colour means no thread changes at all, start to finish, you just let it run. The stitch count feels high for one colour but thats because the dense fill is what makes the negative-space tree crisp at every size.
One of my customers ordered this last november for a block-print style transfer project, she wanted something that would work as a stamp pattern too, not just embroidery. She told me she ended up stitching the 5-in size for set of linen napkins in deep navy, one per napkin. Said they were the best christmas gift she ever gave. Thats the kind of feedback that makes you realise how useful a simple design can be.
Single thread means you can match any colour scheme easily. Deep navy on cream linen is the obvious move and it looks brilliant. Forest green on white cotton is clean and graphic. Try a deep burgundy on a cream cotton tee for something a bit warmer. The design reads well at small sizes too, a 3.5 mini on a pocket or stocking cuff is sharp enough that you can still make out the tree detail.
No colour changes so just focus on your stabiliser and hooping. All that solid fill needs the fabric held completely flat or the outer edge goes wobbly. Cutaway stabiliser underneath is the right call here. Slow your machine slightly at the very centre where the tree trunk cutout section is narrowest, dont rush through those negative-space columns.

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.
