Two horses going flat out, side by side. The left one is in a warm orange, R255 G140 B63 in thread terms, and the mane and tail break off into long flame-like wisps rather than sitting flat. The right horse is solid black with the muscle definition mapped through the fill direction, so you can actually read the shoulder and haunch structure without any outline work. Theyre overlapping slightly at the midpoint, the black horse nose pushing forward just ahead of the orange, like its a nose in front.
the software I use did the build. The wide landscape format runs narrow in height, 2.09 to 2.69 inches tall across the five sizes, but wide, 3.50 to 4.47 inches across. Thats what makes it sit so naturally across a jacket cuff or the lower leg of a pair of jeans. Density is 546 stitches per square inch through the main fill areas, which is firm but not so heavy it stiffens lightweight fabric. 2 colours, 1 colour change, 24 trims at the small size going to 37 at the large, I know that sounds like alot but theyll clear fast on any modern machine.
A customer grabbed the 4.47-inch size for the back yoke of a western shirt last autumn, tan cotton twill, and the orange against that fabric colour was something else. Stitch it on medium-weight cutaway stabiliser regardless of the base fabric, the horizontal pull through the hoop is real on the wide sizes. Run a test piece first if youre hooping lightweight cotton voile, its worth it.
Pair it with rust or copper thread if you want to push the warm tone further. Avoid very dark navy or black base fabric for the orange horse unless you add a light underlay first, otherwise its detail gets lost. Best bobbin is neutral grey so it doesnt show through the body fills on either horse.

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.
