Circular ring frame with a group of bats clustered along the bottom arc. The top of the circle is clear, the bat cluster fills the lower section of the ring, each bat is small with spread wings. Simple as that. Its the kind of design that reads well from across a room and works on almost anything.
Six sizes going from 2.5 inches all the way up to 7.5 inches. Stitch counts run from 4,610 to 18,233. Low density at 328 stitches per square inch means it stitches out fast at smaller sizes and doesnt bog down the machine at larger ones. One colour, no stops. I get messages round september and october asking for bat designs that arent too cartoony and this is the one I usually point people toward. One stitch shop owner bought a dozen fabric panels with this last year just for framing.
Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, the ring uses a satin column stitch so it has that smooth raised look rather than a flat run stitch. The bat shapes use the same approach, directional satin fill. The whole thing stitches clean on cotton, linen, denim, and canvas with a tearaway stabiliser. Straightforward. No fuss.
Use tearaway on woven cotton and canvas. Cutaway for any knit or jersey base. Skip very open weave fabrics like burlap as the satin columns can snag. The 2.5 inch smallest size works well inside an embroidery hoop as a finished wall piece, the circle shape suits hoop framing naturally.

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.
