Clean side-profile of a womans face, the whole thing drawn in a single flowing line-art style. Her hair goes up into a messy bun, the kind with loose loops and a few strands escaping, and the line just traces around the whole silhouette without filling anything in. Defined brow, straight nose, lips parted. A faint suggestion of a shoulder and neckline at the base. Its the kind of face you recognise immediately as elegant without being able to say exactly why.
Stitch count is very light, 2,422 on the 2-inch width up to 4,169 on the 4.37-inch. Density is just 127 and theres no fill work at all, only outline stitching. Runs quietly and fast on any machine. No cutaway needed, a lightweight tearaway on woven fabric is fine. And because its all outline, it works in any thread colour without changing a thing in the file. Try cream on black, gold on white, burgundy on oatmeal. All of em land differently and they all work.
I get notes about this one from boutique clothing brands and market sellers doing custom tees and tote bags. One buyer texted me last april saying she stitched it on a dozen white cotton totes for a pop-up art fair and sold every single one before the afternoon was done. Also popular for the fashion-illustration crowd who like their embroidery minimal and gallery-ready rather than decorative and fluffy. Its not a product for everyone but the people who get it really really love it.
Best on smooth tight-weave fabrics where the fine outline work stays crisp. Linen, poplin, fine cotton canvas all work well. Avoid terry or waffle where loops sink into the texture. Use a topping film on knits. Pop the small size on a tee pocket for a fashion accent. Send a note if the file doesnt open in your software and Ill check the format and resend. One fix, done. Text a quick message if the download fails and Ill fix 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.
