Pulled together this deer silhouette last spring after a customer kept asking me for something darker than the usual cutesy wildlife stuff. Its a stag head and chest rising out of a tangle of bare tree roots, and the whole thing is one solid black fill. No outlines sitting on top, no shading layers. Just the shape, cut sharp. The antlers spread wide at the top and the roots curl and branch out at the bottom, so its kind of symmetrical without being perfect about it.
Runs in 4 sizes from 3.5 inches wide up to 7.5 inches wide, stitches go from 8,742 at the smallest to 20,472 at the largest. Because its all tatami fill and no satin edges to worry about, hooping on a stable cutaway stabiliser keeps everything clean. Hoop a stable cutaway under fleece or canvas, youll get crisper edges than with tear-away on this one. Density sits at 568 so its a solid coverage, wont look thin on darker fabrics.
And yes, one customer last week wanted the biggest size stitched on a charcoal linen tote and it looked realy good. The jump stitches are minimal, 49 trims across the whole run, so thread tails arent a problem.
Stitch on charcoal linen for a clean read. Hoop firm so the tatami doesnt drift. One colour, done.

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.
