Pulled this together for the kids crowd and honestly the dads who want something a bit over the top for st. patricks day. Its a full shamrock character, like a four-leaf clover with a face and a leprechaun hat, sitting in the cab of a monster truck with massive knobby wheels that take up more than half the design area. Four-leaf clovers are scattered around the truck like its just crushed through a field of em. The whole thing has this heavy bold cartoon feel, black outlines everywhere, white fill on the truck body and cab, dark green for all the clover and wheel detail, and a small gold-tone yellow block on the hat buckle.
Wilcom handled the colour control over the wheel tread sequencing because thats the part that can get messy if the underlay isnt mapped right. The chunky pattern needs directional fills going in alternating angles so the rubber surface reads as three-dimensional rather than flat. Five colours with seven changes, density at 923, and 140 trims in the biggest size so theyre not kidding about this being a heavy stitch file. Only 3 sizes on this one, running from 5.50 to 7.50 inches wide, this design isnt gonna work small because the scattered clovers and wheel texture lose definition below 5 inches.
A customer hooped the 7.50-inch size on the back of a childs quilted jacket last march and said the tread detail came out sharp on the fleece with a cutaway backing. Stick to heavy cutaway stabiliser on this one, no exceptions, the stitch count at the large size is 51,231 and you need the backing to handle that load without puckering, especially on knit or fleece fabrics.
Best on fleece, sweatshirt fabric or a heavy cotton canvas. Use the largest hoop your machine takes because at 7.50 inches you want a single-hoop run rather than rehooping mid-design. Pair with a stabiliser topping on fleece so the tyre tread stitches sit above the pile. Add it to a dark green or white base fabric and the colour palette works without any changes.
Email me if the file throws an error on import and Ill look into it straight away.

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.
