This is the small fast one. 2,114 stitches, single colour, density only 59, digitised in Wilcom. Its tall and narrow at 1.58 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall, a vertical stack of flying bats silhouettes. Not a full composition with background or text, just the bats, clean and simple.
I built this one for sleeve placements specifically. I had a customer who was doing a run of halloween costume shirts and she needed something that would go down the sleeve without needing a big hoop repositioning. This is it. The tall narrow shape works perfectly on a sleeve from shoulder to mid-arm, on the side of a baseball cap, on the leg of kids halloween pants, or as a repeating column motif up the side of a tote bag. Low stitch count means it stitches out fast and barely stresses the fabric.
Use a light tearaway on woven fabrics and you're done. Add topping if youre stitching on fleece, velvet, or anything with a nap. The silhouette fills are low density so they wont pull or distort even on lighter fabric, its actually one of the rare halloween designs that works alright on lightweight cotton or even cotton voile if you stabilise properly.
People are using it as a repeating element up the side of a skirt, as a cuff accent, scattered as multiples across a pillowcase, and on the backs of halloween party favour bags. Run it as two or three repeats down a scarf or ribbon trim and it looks like you planned a whole halloween collection. Good on dark fabric with a single light or orange thread.
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.
- Sleeve column halloween shirt placementShirt sleeve column from shoulder to mid-arm, the tall narrow silhouette reads like an intentional sleeve graphic rather than a filler element.
- Baseball cap side panel decorationBaseball cap side panel going upward from the brim, topping keeps the silhouette fills clean on structured cap fabric.
- Kids halloween pants side seam motifKids halloween pants outer side seam, low density at 59 makes this genuinely gentle on lightweight cotton twill.
- Halloween scarf or ribbon trim repeatCotton scarf with three repeats down the length, space them evenly and it reads as a halloween scarf collection piece.
- Cuff accent on cotton shirt sleevesScattered repeat pillowcase project, the fast stitch-out time means you can place four or five bats without spending all afternoon on one pillow.
- Pillowcase scattered bat repeat patternDog bandana point, one bat at the tip of the triangle point, low density suits the lighter weight bandana cotton without distorting it.
- Halloween favour bag back panelFavour bag back panel accent, a single column of bats on the back face of a small cotton bag feels like a proper halloween detail not an afterthought.

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.
