Pulled this one together as a halloween take on the trendy rainbow arch shape. Heres the thing about single-colour halloween designs: they actually work better on dark fabric than most multi-colour ones do, because the black satin really pops against orange or purple cotton. Thick satin bands stack together to form the arch, and each band carries its own detail layer. Bats run across the outer curves in a repeating directional pattern, alot like a border print. The inner arch carries a full spiderweb, and theres a second smaller web sitting at the bottom corner. Right in the middle, with the two base columns framing each side, a jack-o-lantern grins up at you with angled eyes and a jagged mouth. One customer messaged in september about pumpkin-patch event tees and this ended up being exactly what they needed for the bat detail at small sizes.
And before you ask about stabiliser: the 2.53-inch width uses 8,937 stitches at a density of 610, so the underlay does real work keeping those tiny wings crisp on the bobbin side. Back with heavyweight cutaway on jersey or a fleece-back hoodie. Skip the tearaway on this one, it wont keep the base columns flat once the dense satin settles in. Pop a topping layer over the fabric if youre working on any kind of textured knit. Im usually cautious about dense designs on lightweight fabric, but Wilcom EmbroideryStudio does the underlay work properly here.
Five sizes run from 2.53 inches wide up to 5.41 inches wide. The largest tops out at 24,785 stitches, which is a solid afternoon hoop for a 7.51-inch tall design. Stitch it in black on burnt orange canvas for the front of a kids sweatshirt, a canvas tote, or a fall throw pillow.

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.
