This halloween spider and web is a 2 colour minimal motif perfect for october craft fair stitching. Classic round web fills the design, radial spokes shooting out from a centre anchor, concentric curved threads stretched between them, a small black spider hangs below the centre on a thin dropline. Real classic vintage halloween look. Most of the web is open line work, no heavy fills, so its dead quick on the machine. I drew it for a regular buyer who wanted something cotton-friendly to whip onto pillowcases and pumpkin tea towels.
Honestly its one of the lightest halloween designs Ive ever digitised. Stitch counts only step 3,282 up to 6,233 over nine hoops. Two colours total, black does almost everything at 3,141 to 3,857 stitches, white is just 139 to 165 for the spiders tiny eyes. Density runs 126 stitches per inch squared which is dead light open work, satin column carries the radial spokes and a thin running stitch traces the curved threads.
Spider body itself uses a tight tatami fill, real small, only takes a hundred stitches or so. Eyes are two white pin-pricks on the head, no need for a topping. Drop thread from the web centre runs as a single satin column down to the spider, you can see its hanging there which is the whole charm. Stitch this on cotton pillowcases, halloween tea towels, kids hoodies, denim jackets, canvas trick-or-treat totes, felt headbands.
The 5 inch file lands right on a pillowcase corner which makes it ideal halloween bedding stitching. Sizes step from a 3.08 inch mini through to 6.59 by 7.50 inch chest layout. So drop tearaway behind cotton and the web reads dead clean. Dont skip the underlay even though density is low, the long spokes will wobble on knit ground without it. Pop the spider on first, then run the web around him. Switch to a small hoop on the 3 inch file, larger frame for bigger versions. Last halloween I sold the 7 inch file to a primary school for matching teacher tees, the staff stitched onto orange grounds and were absolutely thrilled how clean the web read. Cant beat it for a budget halloween starter.

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.
