One leg is up, beak wide open, left wing flung forward like he just nailed the best move of his life. The rooster is mid-performance and hasnt a clue how ridiculous he looks. His tail fans out behind him in a full arc, 5 or 6 big cobalt blue feathers with white and grey ones layered underneath for depth. Red comb sits up top in 3 fanned points. Wattle is a deep red drop under the beak.
Body is warm cream and tan, shading lines in the chest and wing area to give that solid filled-cartoon look. Beak and feet are solid bright yellow, claw tips done in a golden shade separately. 14 colours total and the machine cycles through all of em, so set up your bobbins and thread cones before you start. Thats the only rule with a 14-colour piece really.
Stitch count goes from 11,557 on the small 3.51-inch up to 27,710 on the 6-inch height. Density is 615 stitches per square inch, putting it in the heavier category, so use a tear-away stabiliser under cotton drill or denim, and add a light cut-away layer if youre working on anything that moves. 90/14 needle for the larger sizes, especially going through thick cotton. A person who runs a farm market stall stitched the 5-inch on a canvas apron earlier this year and said shed had 3 people ask where she got it before shed even opened her table.
Best on white, cream, natural linen or pale yellow. The cobalt blue tail needs contrast or it flattens out. Works on denim too, the dark blue tail merges slightly but the red comb and yellow beak pop off the fabric. Skip velvet or heavy pile. Stitch on something stable, its got too many colour runs to be chasing a shifting hoop.
Message me if a colour in the tail fan drops out mid-run and Ill fix the bobbin draw.

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.
