A customer emailed me last autumn asking specifically for a chopper design, not a sportbike, not a cruiser, an actual chopper with high bars and a long front end. This is what I built and its been one of the better-selling vehicle designs in the catalogue since.
Its rendered in a three-quarter front perspective so you get the full drama of those high ape-hanger handlebars sweeping up above the headlight, and the long raked front fork stretching out ahead of the frame. The tank and bodywork fill in deep emerald-green with directional tatami stitching that gives it dimension. The V-twin engine block and chain cover run in gold-amber with satin outlines separating each panel. Heavy black linework defines the tyre profiles and frame rails. Five colour changes, and the stitch density is 1,130 per square centimetre so theres alot going on in the fill areas.
Back with firm poly cutaway, at least 2 ounce weight. Hoop a stable cutaway for the largest sizes since 50,162 stitches on a 6.33 inch design will pull if the stabiliser isnt locked in tight. Add a water-soluble topping on any textured fabric like denim or canvas to keep the satin outlines sharp. Stitch at moderate bobbin tension and check your thread path between colour stops. Smallest version at 1.82 inches still holds the basic chopper silhouette at 11,780 stitches. Email me if something doesnt look right in the stitch-out and I will sort it.

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.
