Gnome designs have been really popular with my customers for the past couple of years, and last year I got a bunch of requests specifically for a halloween version. So I made this one, a gnome holding a BOO sign, which is honestly the simplest halloween message you can stitch onto something and still have it look great. Its casual, a bit funny, and people of all ages like it.
The file is 11,567 stitches in 10 colours, digitised in Wilcom at a density of 157. Thats a medium density, sitting comfortably on mid-weight woven cotton or cotton canvas without pulling excessively. At 3.5" wide by 3.27" tall, it fits nicely on a tote bag front, a pillow panel, or a tea towel. Stitch it on a natural canvas surface for the cleanest result, the beard textures and hat stripes are where most of the 10 colour changes land, and Wilcom sequences those cleanly. Pair crisp cutaway behind canvas, cutaway on anything with stretch. Dont skip the stabiliser even on thick canvas, youll thank yourself when the gnome beard textures come out clean.
Hoop it drum-tight before you start and add a layer of topping over any fleece or terry surface. I had a customer last november who used this on a batch of small trick-or-treat tote bags she made for her daughters class, she sent me a message saying every kid wanted to know where to get one. I get messages like that every october.

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.
