The red truck with a christmas tree in the back is alot of peoples favourite holiday image and I totally get why. Rounded retro cab, big circular headlights, a bundled fir tree poking up from the bed with branches spilling over the cab top. Its the kind of design that doesnt need any explanation. And it stitches up really well in a tall narrow format so it works on both shirt fronts and tote bags.
Six colours go into this one. The truck body is a solid satin-filled red that really pops, the tree is a dense green fill, and the remaining colours handle the tyres, windows, and the yellow headlights. Stitch counts run from 12,938 at the smallest size up to 32,098 at the largest, with a density of 1,194 which means the colours come out rich and solid.
I get alot of messages about this one in november and december from customers who want it on coordinated sets. One customer ordered it on 12 matching canvas totes as christmas gifts for her whole office, said everyone was suprised at how professional the finish looked on a home-stitched piece. Wasnt expecting that level of detail at that price point, she said.
Five sizes, narrowest just 1.7 inches wide by 3.5 tall, largest at 3.59 wide by 7.49 tall. The tall portrait shape fits nicely on the front of a tote bag or on the chest panel of a shirt without needing a wide hoop. Dont rush your hooping on the red fill sections or it can come out uneven on the corners. Use a cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics and tearaway on firm cotton or canvas.
Hoop snug and stitch the red body sections first. Avoid thin jersey for the bigger sizes where the density can pull.

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.
