Circle ring frame with bats scattered across and through it. Not clustered at the bottom like a neat composition, these bats are alot more chaotic, some inside the circle, some crossing the ring line, some completely outside. The whole thing feels like they just broke out in every direction. Its the kind of spooky design that looks good because its not too controlled.
And thats exactly what makes this different from the other bat frame in the shop. That one has bats neat at the bottom arc. This one has them going in every direction so the visual weight spreads across the whole composition. I get messages in september asking which bat frame to go with and I tell people: if you want calm and graphic go neat cluster, if you want energetic go scattered. One customer last october bought both versions and stitched them on matching pillow cases as a set.
Five sizes, 2.5 inches up to 7.5 inches wide. Stitch counts go from 4,864 at the smallest to 19,851 at the largest. Density is 389 per square inch so its not a heavy design even at the biggest size. Stitches quickly on cotton, linen, and denim with no issues. Single black thread, no colour changes, no stops.
Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, the ring uses satin column stitch and each bat has flat satin fill with a clean underlay. Use tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton or canvas. Cutaway on any stretch knit. Works well when you stitch a name or monogram inside the ring, the scattered bats give that inner space a decorative purpose.

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.
