This one took me a while to get right. A father and child on dirt bikes, both in full riding gear, the kid reaching sideways to grab dads hand between the 2 bikes. Its alot to render in a silhouette at this scale. But it came out clean.
Both riders are in complete kit, motocross helmets, chest armour, gloves, and proper boots. Ive seen so many riding designs that skimp on the gear detail and look generic. This one doesnt. Even in a single-colour satin fill you can read the tyre knobs and the helmet visor shapes. Thats what makes it specific to riders rather than a generic family piece.
Stitch count runs from 20,549 up to 36,682 at the 7-inch wide size. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and a fresh 75/11 needle. Drop your machine speed to around 700 stitches per minute for the tight fill sections. Pick from 4 sizes between 4 and 7 inches wide.
A customer ordered this last spring as a Fathers Day denim jacket piece. His son had started riding at age 6 and theyd been going to the track together every weekend for 3 years. He said his wife cried abit when she saw it stitched out. I dont say that to be sappy, I say it because this design earns that reaction. Holler at me if you need help with placement and ill sort it out.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Stitched on the denim cropped jacket back as a Father's Day gift from a riding kidOn denim, use a sharp needle and a tear-away stabiliser backed with cutaway for extra support given the high stitch density.
- Embroidered on a canvas bag for a dirt bike dad who takes his child to the trackCanvas tote handles the 36,682-stitch count at the large size; iron a cutaway piece to the back of the stitching area before hooping.
- Placed on a crew neck sweatshirt as a memorial piece for a motorcycle-loving fatherOn fleece or sweatshirt fabric, add a water-soluble topper so the fill stitches dont sink into the pile.
- Used on a pillow cover for a motocross family's living roomA zippered pillow cover in a medium-weight home dec fabric stitches cleanly; the 5 to 6 inch size works best for a 16-inch pillow.
- Added to a gym bag or gear bag for a dad who rides with his kid on weekendsGear bags in ballistic nylon or canvas are ideal; use a denim needle and a firm cutaway stabiliser.

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.
