Gingerbread star. Not a snowflake, not some generic six-point shape -- Im talking the actual holiday biscuit in satin stitch form. Warm biscuity brown fill, white piped icing dots at each tip and along the inner angles, a clean running-stitch outline tracing the full edge. Thats the whole design and thats exactly why it works.
Stitch count runs from 9,473 at the small 3.45-inch to 24,712 at 7.38 inches. Five colors total, digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio so the satin on those six points is dense and wont gap at the tips. Hoop firm tearaway behind cotton or canvas. Run no-show cutaway on stretch and knit and youre sorted.
A customer last november ordered a proper batch of these for handmade cookie-kit gifts -- muslin drawstring bags, small size, and she told me the brown stayed rich even after machine washing. I thought thats a brilliant use of the smaller size. But Ive also seen it lined up four across a linen table runner, used as a single patch on a tote, or popped onto advent calendar pockets. All of those work really well with this file.
Five sizes from 3.45" x 3.50" up to 7.38" x 7.50". Download arrives the moment you pay, all 8 formats in one zip. Drop a message if anything looks off and Ill fix it.

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.
