Heres the lil green stegosaurus and hes a chunky friendly fella. Standing in profile with stubby legs, a long curving back, fat tail, and that signature double row of plates running along his spine. Eyes are big and rounded, mouth a soft smile, no scary teeth. Picture-book dino kids actualy fall in love with on first look.
Thirteen colours but most are doing subtle work. Body is leaf green flat-fill, belly drops to a light mint, and the back plates are alternating hot pink and coral with cream tips. Toes are cream, eyes are white with black pupils. Black outline runs the full silhouette and gives the cartoon shape its kick. The plates use directional satin so they look properly raised, not pancake-flat.
One mum messaged me last week wanting it on her three-year-olds dungaree pocket and I sent her the smallest 3.5-inch size. Thats what I been digitising lots of these dino designs for, the little hoops. Big sizes top out at 60k stitches on the 7.5-inch hoop. Smallest is 22k. Density is moderate at 1203 so its not gonna torture a knit fabric atleast.
Stitch on lighter solid kids fabric. White, cream, oat, soft yellow, sky blue and mint all let the green and pink plates carry properly. Skip dark navy or black because the leaf green body just dies against deep colours. Avoid super stretchy jersey on the bigger sizes aswell, the long satin plates will pull abit if hooping isnt firm.
Use a medium cutaway stabiliser on tee fabric, baby onesies and dungarees. On heavier denim or canvas a tear-away handles fine. Keep the hoop snug, lay down body green at the start then drop in the belly mint, finish off with the pink plates and the black outline last. Ping me on chat if your machine sneezes on the file and Ill rebuild fresh.

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.
