Sketched this one out for the equestrian crowd and it ended up being kinda more than a simple silhouette. The horse is fully airborne, front legs tucked and rear legs extended, the mane and rear streaming out behind. Its not a minimalist line drawing, its a solid satin-fill body with the directional stitching following the muscle groups, so the flanks and hindquarters actually look like they have some shape to em rather than just a flat black blob.
Done in my digitising suite so the density came out at 500, which is on the higher end for a single-colour fill piece but its what the flowing sections need to stay crisp without the individual thread strands separating. 5 sizes from 3.89 inches wide pushing to 7.77 inches, stitch counts from 15,276 up to 31,095. Forty-four trims in the file, mostly between the body sections and the trailing hair lines. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser on this one, especially at the larger sizes. Theres alot of dense satin underlay and a tear-away wont hold it steady through the whole run.
One customer ordered the 7-inch file last summer and stitched it across the back panel of a kraft canvas tote with matte black 40wt thread. Said it looked like a woodblock print. And honestly thats about right, the density gives it that kind of solid printed weight rather than the lighter feel you get with a lower-stitch fill. Add a plain font name or yard name underneath if youre doing equestrian gifts. Skip the topping on woven canvas, it peels and leaves residue behind the satin sections.
Send a chat message if anything in the file needs adjusting.

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.
