This is a face portrait design with alot going on in the best way. The girl has this big messy bun piled up top, loose strands flying everywhere, and a hot-pink leopard-print bow sitting right at the base of it. Her lashes are dramatic, like proper thick satin lines, and the lips are a bold red that sits separate from the peach skin tones underneath. Red teardrop earrings hang either side. Its the kind of face design that reads as fashion-forward but also playful, not serious at all.
Wilcom set the precision for the skin tone sequencing here because 9 colours need alot of planning. The peach base layer goes down first with a flat satin underlay, then the contour shading builds over it. Black threads handle the lash lines and bun strands, and those 101 trims keep the jump paths clean between sections. 1,122 stitches/sq in density, so it keeps the face stable without puckering on knit fabrics.
One customer asked me last month about running this on a trucker cap panel and it stitched out clean at the 3.5-in run on a tearaway stabiliser with a mesh topping to hold the knit loops flat. For structured hats you can go up to the 5-inch size without issues. On denim or canvas you dont need topping at all, just a medium cutaway and youre good. The satin sections in the bow benefit from slow speed on older machines since the leopard spots are closely packed fill areas.
And the earring details are actually some of the trickiest parts to hoop properly because theyre narrow vertical elements near the edge of the design. Keep em well inside your hoop boundary. Avoid hooping any seam allowance on a bag or jacket panel. Stitch this on cotton twill, felt, or structured canvas where the satin stays crisp and flat, those fabrics hold the 9-colour density without distorting the flesh-tone fill areas.

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.
