The bass is mid-air, mouth wide open, body twisting against an orange sunset. Waves are crashing below and the fishing line curves down from a hook floating above the fish. The whole thing sits inside a thick circular border and reads like a vintage patch, the kind you'd see ironed onto a fishing vest or cut into a hat front.
Ten colours are layered up proper in here. The bass body is a vivid lime-to-emerald green with spot markings filled in. Sky behind it runs orange into yellow like a late-afternoon blow-off sky. The waves are turquoise with white crests and the border is solid near-black. Its full coverage, no negative space inside the circle. The kind of design that looks legit from 3 metres away.
Stitch count goes from about 51k at four inches up to nearly 100k at seven. Thats a heavy run, so plan your stabiliser properly. Use medium-weight cutaway on caps and thick cotton twill. Top your fabric on any texture. A customer ordered the 5-inch size for a custom fishing tournament vest, stitched it on black canvas and the orange sky against dark fabric popped exactly the way youd want it to. I got a message back last week saying the whole tournament team ordered a matching run.
Best on solid dark fabrics where the saturated fills really sing. Black, navy, charcoal or forest green. Light fabrics work too but the impact isnt the same. Hoop tight on caps, use a firm stabiliser, slow the machine down on the dense wave sections.
Wilcom digitised at around 2000 density so thread coverage is solid and the colour boundaries are crisp. Reach out if the run jams on your cap frame and ill resend the pull-compensation adjusted file.

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.
