Worked up this lil tree design for people who wanted something small and clean rather than a big busy christmas scene. Its a silhouette-style tree, no ornaments, no star, just those layered triangle branches sitting on a flat base. 3 colours -- ya get 3 shades of forest green that give it tonal depth without making it complicated to run.
Built in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. The satin and underlay combo keeps everything crisp even at the smallest hoop: 1.55 x 3.51 inches, 6,400 stitches. Biggest runs 3.33 x 7.51 inches at 14,086 stitches. 5 sizes total so you can hop between a napkin corner and a hand towel without re-digitising anything. Density sits at 563 which is on the lighter side -- stitches out fast and doesnt drag the fabric.
Last December a customer ran the 1.55-inch size across a bunch of cream linen napkins for a dinner party -- said she stitched all 8 in one afternoon. That density of 563 is exactly why: light enough that even linen doesnt pucker, but the satin still looks clean. Use cutaway stabiliser, not tearaway, the directional stitches need the stability.
Pair it on cream or white -- the forest green reads really well against natural linen. Pick the smallest size for pocket corners, the mid size for mug rugs, the largest for hand towels. Add a stabiliser that matches the fabric weight and Ping me if anything doesnt stitch out right.
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.
- Cream linen dinner napkin corner for a Christmas table settingRun the 1.55-inch size with cutaway stabiliser -- the low density of 563 means it wont pull linen even without topping.
- White cotton hand towel border repeatRepeat the mid size across the towel border at 4-inch intervals for a simple allover look.
- Mug rug or small placemat centreCentre the 2.5-inch version on a mug rug blank with cutaway -- sits neatly inside the 4-inch mug rug standard size.
- Tote bag pocket corner accentStitch the 1.55-inch in the pocket corner of a canvas tote -- small enough to look intentional rather than crowded.
- Christmas card fabric insertCut a linen insert for a kraft card window and stitch the smallest size, then mount behind the card window.
- Mini hoop ornament on a fleece roundHoop a fleece circle blank and run the 2.5-inch version, then add a ribbon loop for a tree ornament.
- Baby bib corner detail for a first ChristmasUse the smallest size on a pre-made bib blank with cutaway backing -- finishes in under 10 minutes per bib.

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.
