Pulled together a proper layered halloween greeting here, not just two words in a box. At the very top theres a looping infinity-style devil swirl, like a tail curling in on itself, and its kinda hard not to notice once youve spotted it. Below that sits HAPPY in wide chunky block capitals with solid satin fill. Then Halloween drops into a flowing handwritten script where a pointy witch hat sits right on the H and a tiny round pumpkin icon floats beside the last E. The whole bottom third hangs a wide spider web with 3 small spiders dangling off it on single thread lines. Its got alot going on but reads as a single cohesive piece rather than clipart stuck together.
Density is fairly light at 298 stitches per square inch, which gives the script sections a thinner feel than the block HAPPY above. The witch hat uses a directional fill so the brim and the cone catch the light differently. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handled the digitising so the script lettering has proper underlay keeping each stroke from sinking into the fabric. Youre looking at 1 colour, 1 thread, no stops at all.
5 sizes in the file. Smallest is 3 by 2.54 inches at 4,936 stitches, biggest goes 7 by 5.92 inches at 12,361. A customer ordered the 5-inch hoop on a black flour sack tea towel and it looked genuinely sharp, the spiders hanging off the bottom edge gave it this kinda theatrical finish. With only 12k stitches on the largest size its one of the faster halloween designs to stitch out, which I appreciate when Im running a batch.
Use tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton or a light cutaway on knits. Hoop tight and dont let the fabric shift especially during the thin script sections since the letterforms are narrow. Best on white, cream, light grey or pale orange fabric. Avoid dark backgrounds where the black thread wont read well. Skip topping on smooth quilting cotton since the density is low enough that the needle guides itself cleanly.
Stitch the 7-inch on a Halloween tea towel, Add the 4-inch to a trick-or-treat tote panel, or Run the small size on a fabric bookmark for a halloween book gift. Drop us a message if the file gives you any trouble and well get it sorted quickly.

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.
