Stitched out this forest tree line design for customers doing outdoors and woodland themed projects, but its been just as popular for winter and christmas work because pine trees double up perfectly this time of year. The design is a wide horizontal scene, portrait format, with trees at 4 heights filling the frame in that classic layered forest style. Six colours, 4 sizes from 2.43 by 4.51 inches up to 4.07 by 7.49 inches, and stitch counts run from 23,052 to 39,782.
Density sits at 1,305 which is on the heavier end, so back this with a firm cutaway on all fabric types. Dont try a tearaway on anything thicker than a woven shirt fabric, itll pull. The tatami fill on the tree bodies gives that nice textured look, and the directional stitching on each branch layer runs at different angles to mimic the droop of actual pine boughs. I run this on denim, cotton canvas and heavy flannel mostly, the contrast between the two greens really shows up on mid-tone fabrics.
A customer earlier this year ordered the 4.07 inch wide version for a set of christmas stocking panels in cream fleece, one design per stocking in a row at the top, and the whole set looked like a proper boutique product. Hoop the fleece with a polymesh cutaway and slow the machine down on the denser tree sections. Use the 2.43 by 4.51 inch version on a pocket or a small pouch flap. Pair with navy, forest green, or natural linen for best colour contrast.
Six colour changes in order: start with the background light green, work forward through the layers, finish with the trunks. Theyre all logically sequenced so the layering builds correctly.

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.
