This ones kinda the busiest of the snowflake family. The branches arent plain bars, theyre subdivided with smaller organic sub-branches, and then scattered throughout are small filled dot embellishments sitting at intersections and near the tips. The centre has a starburst ring of dots before the arms begin. Its alot going on in a small footprint.
Because of all those dot elements, the trim count runs up to 40 at the largest size, so the machine will pause more often than a plain snowflake. Totally normal, just plan for it. The density is 448 versus around 374 for the simpler versions in this range, meaning youll want a firm stabiliser underneath. Use cutaway on any stretch fabric, a medium tearaway on woven cotton. Run a topping on terry cloth so those fine dot circles dont sink into the pile.
I get messages asking about lacy snowflake designs alot, people want something that reads ornate without being multi-colour. Stitched the chest-3 in on a linen hand towel last december and it really held up nicely after washing, the dots stay round and the sub-branches dont fray at the topping edge. Just make sure the topping on terry is tight before ya start the run.
Try deep navy, burgundy, or a proper forest green on cream linen to let all that internal detail register. Skip white thread on white fabric, the dot shadows wont show up.

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.
