Four snails, 4 halloween costumes, and a bunch of bats flying in above em. Left to right: a ghost snail with a white shell and a little smiley face, a witch snail wearing a purple hat with a gold buckle, a mummy snail wrapped head to tail in grey bandage strips, and a pumpkin snail with an orange jack-o-lantern shell. Bats fill the top space in pairs, all black silhouettes with tiny orange eyes peeking out.
The whole row sits wide so this works best as a border design or a large chest piece. The shells are each stitched in satin fills with slightly different colour treatments so ya can see where one costume ends and the next starts. 9 colours, 9 spans 3.5 reaching 7.5 reaching 7.5-in. Smallest runs at around 1,100 stitches, biggest at nearly 18k stitches. Wilcom digitising means those bat outlines stay crisp at every size. My niece spotted this one when I was working on it in october and immediately wanted it on her school bag, she called them snail people which is honestly the best possible reaction.
Stitch the full row on a canvas trick-or-treat bag using a tearaway stabiliser on the woven cotton. Pop a single snail at a 3-in mini size on a kids shirt pocket if ya want something subtle. Use cutaway stabiliser on fleece or jersey so those satin shell fills dont pull. Skip pale yellow or white ground cloth if youre doing the pumpkin snail version, the orange shell needs a neutral or dark background to read right. Drop me a message if the file causes any trouble once youre hooped up.

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.
