Two colours. Nine sizes. And somehow this lil design does more than ya'd expect from something so simple. I digitised it in Wilcom at a density of 70, deliberately low so the line-art silhouette style reads clean without heavy fill bulk underneath. At the small end its 2,025 stitches, which barely takes any time at all, and the largest at 7.5 inches wide hits 25,237 stitches. Stitch it on a cream linen cushion cover and it looks like something you'd find in a boutique shop, not an online download. Thats not an exaggeration, people genuinely cant tell its a downloaded file versus something custom-commissioned.
I had a bunch of customers order this one last march for mothers day gifts, tote bags, cushion covers, a couple of sweatshirts. Drop this on a light linen or cotton blend with a cutaway stabiliser and the satin outlines stay sharp even through washing. Dont use a busy patterned base fabric, the 2-colour silhouette needs a clean background to read properly. The girl outline and the cat are separated at the density boundary so you can run em in sequence without stopping for a colour change, well technically theres 2 colours so one stop, but its quick.
Use a 75/11 embroidery needle on lighter fabrics and go up to an 80/12 on denim if youre stitching it on a jean jacket pocket. Pair the black thread with a warm ivory base for the strongest contrast. Pick the 4.5 inch size for tote placement, the 6 inch for a cushion face. Stitch the outline passes first before any fill areas if you adjust settings, the underlay sequence matters for keeping the cat shape crisp. Drop me a message if you want help picking the right size for your project.

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.
