And the cow face is one of those designs that just gets people smiling. Big round head, classic black and white holstein patches, two lil horns poking up, wide nostrils in a soft pink, and those big dark eyes with lashes. Its got 9 colours total which sounds alot but they all work together to make the face look genuinely full and soft rather than flat and blocky.
I made this one primarily for kids items but Ive been suprised at how many adults order it for farmhouse kitchen projects. One customer wanted it on a set of cotton tea towels for a country kitchen and honestly it looked really good on oatmeal linen. The muzzle area has subtle directional stitching so the pink has dimension, not just flat satin fill.
Nine sizes ranging from 3.17 inches up to 6.8 inches wide, stitch counts go from around 20k up to 53k on the largest. Use a cutaway stabiliser for anything stretchy like fleece or jersey, tearaway works fine on woven cotton or denim. The dense areas around the eyes and nostrils need solid backing or you get distortion.
Hoop it on light colours for best results. White, cream, pale yellow, soft grey all work great. Skip very dark backgrounds unless you swap the black patches to charcoal or navy so they read against the fabric. Pick the 4 inch size for items like bibs and bags, go with the 6 inch version for a bold tee or hoodie chest piece.
Holler if you run into any issues with colour order or the file wont open on your machine, Im happy to help sort it out.

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.
