Two panda cubs mid-wrestle, and the one on top is absolutely winning. Pink tongue poking out, one big furry paw raised in the air like its just scored a point. The cub underneath is flat on its back looking genuinely suprised, little teeth showing in a wide grin. You can almost hear the chaos from here.
Fur texture is the thing that makes this one stand out. Wilcom digitised alot of directional stitching into those fluffy bodies so the black and white patches have real depth to em. Paws have soft satin fills for the pink pads. Black outlines at the edges keep the shapes readable without going heavy. Theres 11 colours total which sounds like alot but theyre all in a natural palette, nothing jarring.
I get messages from nursery decorators and baby shower folks asking about this one more than almost any other animal design. One customer ordered it last spring for a set of personalised bamboo-print onesies and it looked absolutely spot on. And a teacher told me she stitched it on a classroom reading cushion because her 4-year-olds wouldnt stop pointing at it.
Pop the largest hoop size on the back of a cream or sage cotton hoodie for max impact. Back it with soft cutaway behind underneath because the density on the fur sections pushes close to 100k stitches at that scale. For smaller items like bibs or tote pockets the 4-inch reads clean and the wrestling pose still makes sense. Skip busy prints, the panda markings need a plain pale ground. Holler at me if the file gives any trouble and Ill sort it same day.

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.
