Sometimes you just need a clean, simple shape that stitches fast and reads clearly, and this pink bat is exactly that. One colour, 4345 stitches, 3.51 inches wide by 1.55 inches tall, it finishes in about three minutes on most machines. I made it last september for people who wanted a halloween bat that felt cute rather than scary, and the pink thread option was the thing that made it land differently from the standard black bat silhouettes that are everywhere. The density is only 124, which is quite low, and thats intentional, a bat silhouette at higher density loses the airy feeling of the wing shape.
Pair light cutaway under woven cotton, its more than enough for 4345 stitches at 124 density. On knit fabric or anything with stretch, a light cutaway or a wash-away stabiliser works if youre doing the front of a tshirt and dont want a permanent backing showing. Hoop it with the wing span going horizontal, the 3.51 wide by 1.55 high shape is a landscape orientation and it needs to be hooped that way or youll be stitching within the frame at an awkward angle. Skip topping entirely, the flat satin fill on smooth fabric doesnt need it.
I get a lot of messages from people doing halloween tshirt batches who want a design that can be run back-to-back without wasting machine time between pieces. At three minutes a stitch-out you can genuinely run twenty of these on a batch before the next proper halloween design setup. Pair it with a contrasting fabric colour, hot pink on black is the most requested combination I see, but dusty rose on grey gives a softer vintage halloween feel that some customers have gone back to me for multiple times. Run it on the collar band of a sweatshirt, across a sleeve hem, or as a repeat across a canvas tote handle area.
Place it on a black felt halloween bag for a quick kid-friendly project that doesnt need complex stabiliser prep, one-colour designs on felt are basically foolproof, tearaway underneath and you're done. Pick a thread with good colour brightness if you want the pink to show against darker fabrics, a dim pink on dark grey wont pop enough to read at arm's length.

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.
