Worked up this layout as a kinda self-contained circular composition -- the cursive 'Let it Snow' sits in the centre and then snowflakes of really really different scales orbit around the outside, from tiny six-pointed stars to larger geometric flakes with the full branching arm detail. The whole thing stays within a circle so theres no awkward whitespace when its hooped and it reads cleanly from any angle.
Single colour, no thread changes. Everything stitches in dark green -- which sounds like an unusual choice but it looks brilliant on cream, white, oatmeal linen, and red fabrics. The snow script uses a rounded satin column letterform, not a scratchy outline, so it reads legibly even at the smallest 3-inch size. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio took the snowflake sequencing, adding separate underlay passes for the script and each element, which is why the flakes stay crisp and dont merge into each other even where theyre close together. 98 trims in the sequence, which is gonna sound like a lot but its because each snowflake arm gets its own pass.
This past november a customer messaged asking about putting this on tea towels and I genuinely think thats where it looks best. Hoop this at 5 inches across a natural linen tea towel in dark green thread and its just really really satisfying to stitch out, looks proper handmade. Run it on a cutaway stabiliser for tea towel weight linen -- tearaway can leave ghost lines on thinner weaves. Add a water-soluble topping if youre going onto waffle weave or any textured cotton so the snowflake arms dont sink into the fabric loops.
Youll want to check your bobbin tension before starting -- that 437 density means the satin passes are gonna pull slightly on anything loosely woven. Its not dramatic but one customer noticed some minor puckering and we traced it back to a mismatched bobbin tension. Sorted once she adjusted. Use a 75/11 sharp needle for the best result on woven fabrics at this density.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Natural linen tea towelsLinen tea towels are the most popular use I see for this design -- the circular composition fits a standard tea towel front panel perfectly in the 5-inch or 6-inch version.
- Christmas table napkinsWhite cotton napkins with a 4-inch version in dark green at each corner are a popular christmas table set -- the single-colour design means you can do a large batch quickly.
- Winter scarf pocket accentThe compact circular layout means it fits nicely on a woven scarf pocket without overwhelming the fabric -- the 3-inch version is ideal for this.
- Kraft paper gift bag appliqueSome customers print the design as a circular applique patch on kraft paper gift bags, stitching it out on stabiliser first and then ironing on.
- Seasonal cushion coverA winter cushion with this centred at the 6-inch size in dark green on a cream linen cover is kinda the classic winter decor move and it works every time.
- Child's fleece beanieFleece beanies need a water-soluble topping to stop the loops eating the snowflake detail -- once you sort that the 3-inch version fits a child's hat perfectly.
- Holiday market craft stall stockFor craft stall batches the single-colour build keeps your thread costs low -- one bobbin and one upper thread is all you need for a full production run.

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.
