Big wide margarita bowl in bright lime green tatami, with pale mint highlights catching the centre where the light would hit and the fill deepening at the curved edges. Thats the glass. The salt rim runs across the top in chunky white satin, kinda textured like actual salt crystals caught in thread. Then theres a full lime wheel perched on the right side of the rim, round cross-section with those segment lines radiating out, stitched in two shades of green. Stem and base are slate grey with subtle underlay showing through, its a different fill direction from the bowl so the whole thing reads as one object with actual weight to it.
Five sizes in the pack, smallest runs about 3.5 inches wide and sits around 13,325 stitches, largest goes to 7.5 inches and climbs past 37,000. Stitch density is high across all sizes so cutaway stabiliser is the right call, dont swap it for tearaway just because the fabric feels stable. The garnish detail especially needs that backing to hold shape after washing. Topping on terry cloth or fleece keeps the satin rim crisp and stops pile swallowing the white salt texture.
Hoop flat, center the glass, and check the garnish on the upper right clears your hoop wall before you start. Stick a 75/11 needle in for the dense tatami fill sections in the bowl. A shop owner I know ordered the 5 inch version for her bar staff aprons last month, said customers keep asking about them. Pop this on cotton canvas, linen, denim twill, terry towelling, they all work. Skip knit fabrics for the smaller sizes, that white salt edge gets wobbly on stretch without topping, its definately worth testing first.
Pair the 4 inch on a cotton napkin with a simple salt shaker on the reverse side if you want a matching set. Cut your jump stitches clean between the lime segments, theres a few colour changes in that area and loose threads show on light fabric. Use a bobbin thread that matches the underside of your fabric, it keeps the whole back looking tidy even with that high stitch density in the bowl fill.
Give me a heads up if your format isnt in the pack.

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.
