Wings spread wide. Left side goes deep purple at the centre feathers, bleeds into dark navy as the shafts fan outward, with sky blue lower feathers curling down below the body. The right wing mirrors it but in burnt orange fading into crimson, same sky blue at the base. Every individual feather is a directional satin column with a black spine running through the middle and a white highlight edge, which is what gives the whole thing that layered depth when its stitched out.
This one is genuinely dense. The smallest size at 3.5 inches wide already carries 35,257 stitches, and the top 7-in version hits 96,020. Thats not a design you rush through on a home machine. industry-grade software used high-density fills at 1,718 across the feather sections, with directional underlay that mimics actual feather structure. It needs a heavy cutaway stabiliser and a slow pass on the first colour, because the navy and purple sections come in early and set up the base for everything else.
Ive had alot of messages on this one since last summer. One customer texted me a photo of the 5-in centre on a black twill jacket back, the contrast between the purple-navy wing and the dark fabric was genuinely suprising. She said she hadnt expected the white highlights to show up that well. They do, because my usual software specifically programmes those edge satin lines to sit above the base fill at a slightly different angle.
Best on black, charcoal, or very dark navy fabric. The white highlight stitching is what makes this pop, and it disappears on light backgrounds. Use heavy cutaway, hoop tight, and drop the machine speed for the 96k stitch version. Avoid jersey completely at the large sizes, that density will pucker stretch fabric badly.
Text me if you hit any issues and Ill troubleshoot the same day.

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.
