At 65,587 stitches at the largest size, this one runs dense. Really dense. The digitising uses tight directional satin on the purple lips, switching angle between the upper and lower lip so the sheen catches different ways under the light, and thats what gives it that almost 3D glossy look on finished fabric. The drip element underneath runs in hot pink satin, with a lil jack-o-lantern smile stitched right onto the tongue in white. Honestly I was suprised how well that detail comes through even at the 3.5 inch size.
Needs a cutaway on stretchy tees but worth it, the density means it holds shape perfectly even after washing, no puckering if you hoop it right. On denim or canvas it sits flat without any topping at all. Pop a tear-away under a cotton twill jacket and it pulls clean. Skip the tearaway on jersey, cutaway only, and use a medium-tack topping so the purple fills dont sink into the fabric. The underlay matters here because of how many colour transitions pack in close together.
A goth-aesthetic crafter I know picked up the 7.5 inch last halloween for a canvas tote she sold at a craft fair, and she told me it walked before she even got it hooped on the display stand. Black fleece hoodies run as probably the most popular base Ive seen, the deep purple really pops against black fabric. Tote bags take the 6 inch nicely, centered on the front panel with about 2 inches clear on each side. The scattered hearts and sparkle stars around the lips stitch out crisp even when the main lip area runs packed tight with detail.
Use a 75/11 sharp needle on woven fabrics and a 75/11 stretch needle on knits. Center the design with the chin drip pointed straight down, dont angle it or the drip reads wrong. Iron the finished piece from the back only, the white satin on the fangs scorches easily at high heat.
Flag me down if the trims run long on your setup.

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.
