One customer wrote in last month saying this was the design that finally made her try a nine-color run on her home machine, something she'd been putting off for ages. Its a bumblebee, viewed from above, proper detail on the wings and abdomen. But then theres this ink-splash background behind it in aqua and pink, and a thin geometric triangle overlay on top. It shouldnt all fit together but it does, sort of an illustrative style thats more modern than your typical insect design.
Pop a medium-weight cutaway under your fabric before hooping, because with 9 color stops you don't want any shifting mid-stitch. Use a 75/11 needle for the wing sections, the stitching is finer there and stabilisation really matters. Set your machine at a slightly lower speed for the first 3 color stops to let everything settle.
Eight sizes run from 3.49 inches up to 6.98 inches, nearly square proportions throughout. Stitch the 5-in size for a tote or t-shirt for the clearest detail. Skip anything under 3.5 inches if the wing veining is important to you.

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.
