My sister stitched this mountain biking design on her cycling jacket last spring and I honestly didnt expect it to look as good as it did. The way the orange sun sits behind the rider silhouette, you get this really clean layered depth even though its only three colours. The pine trees fill out left and right in teal-green and stop the composition from feeling too empty. Its a proper circular badge shape so it works anywhere a patch or logo placement would normally go.
9 sizes, 2.98 inches wide at the smallest and up to 6.38 inches at the largest, stitch counts from 13,054 to 35,279. Three colours, 2 colour changes, 60 trims on the small. Density at 737 keeps the rider and bike area solid, thats the heaviest fill section. Back it with a medium cutaway on jerseys or performance wear, those fabrics stretch too much for tearaway and the silhouette edges go wobbly if the backing gives way. Use a topping on any textured knit or fleece so the orange radiating lines dont sink into the pile. Stitch a test swatch before committing to the full run, get the teal-to-black tension sorted or you'll lose the separation between the trees and the rider outline.
Cycling clubs order this regularly for jersey yokes and cap fronts. The 4-5 inch range goes on a back yoke, the 3-inch size fits a cap front cleanly. Put it on a zip pouch or drawstring bag for an MTB-themed gift. And dont limit it to sport gear, the retro badge look works on denim shirts and canvas totes just as well.

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.
