Just the outline of a christmas tree, no fill inside, drawn in a single clean stroke that traces the triangular silhouette and the stepped branch edges. Its deliberately minimal, not an unfinished design. One colour, one stop, stitch range of 7,472 at the smallest 1.28 by 3.51 inch size up to 15,686 stitches at the full 2.73 by 7.51 inch version. Density is set to 765 on the outline path which gives the line real body without making it stiff or boardy on light linen.
I digitised the branch tier corners as slightly softened to avoid sharp 90-degree angles. Sharp corners cause the satin run to pile up and the needle can punch through delicate fabric. Dont skip stabiliser on this one even though its a light stitch count. Use tearaway on most woven bases. Add cutaway on any knit or stretchy fabric or the outline distorts when you unhoop it. One customer said her first attempt on loosely woven cotton gauze pulled and she switched to light cutaway and it came out perfect.
Theres a lot of mileage in a single colour outline like this. Pick a contrasting thread and it reads as a proper finished piece on white linen, natural canvas, or dark denim. The tall narrow proportions work well in column repeats along a table runner hem. Use the small 1.28-inch version for sock cuffs or collar accents where a bigger fill design wouldnt fit. Ive had people run 20 of the small version on a batch project and it stitches clean every time.
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.
- Linen wrapping clothsNatural linen reusable gift wrap cloth in dark green thread at 5 inches: the minimal outline on organic linen reads as deliberate contemporary styling rather than a christmas decoration
- Natural canvas tote bagsCanvas bag front at full 7.5 for a minimalist carry that works throughout December without shouting christmas at strangers on the bus
- Minimalist holiday cushion coversWhite cushion cover in gold thread at a mid-size: the outline tree in metallic thread on white fabric reads as metallic foil print rather than embroidery at a glance
- Table runner hem bordersLinen table runner hem repeat with the small version spaced in evenly spaced columns, the tall narrow tree tiles cleanly without awkward gaps between repeats
- Cotton napkin cornersCotton napkin corner set at the smallest size, subtle enough for a formal table setting where a full design would be too much
- Hoop art wall piecesKitchen runner at a mid-size in a dark single thread on oatmeal linen, matches a minimalist December kitchen aesthetic without adding clutter to the counter

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.
