Stitched out this unicorn for all the parents whove been asking for something that works on really young kids items, like onesies and baby blankets, not just older girls stuff. Its a chubby round-bodied unicorn caught mid-prance, one front leg up, big cartoon eyes, and a pink mane that flows back behind the neck. The horn is orange with a slight spiral texture to it and there are 3 little orange stars trailing off the back end like its actually moving. The whole figure sits on a soft grey-white base, so it doesnt look washed out on light fabrics.
Punched through Wilcom. The mane comes out with really separated individual strand fills, not one solid block, so you get that fluffy layered look even at the smaller sizes. The grey torso uses a mid-density underlay before the top satin pass, which keeps it from looking flat and lifeless on cotton knit. At 920 density its on the heavier side, so use cutaway stabiliser for anything with stretch. Tearaway is fine on a firmly hooped quilting cotton but I wouldnt risk it on any interlock or jersey.
Six colours total: two pinks for the mane gradient, orange for the horn and stars, grey for the rounded body, white for highlights, and black for the outlines. Five colour changes. The largest size at 6.5 inches reaches 45,000 stitches, so budget about 15-20 minutes on a mid-speed machine. At that size the mane detail is suprising, customers are genuinely impressed by how much the individual strands read.
A customer messaged me last week saying she used the 3-inch size for iron-on patches on kids school bags. Use a heavy cutaway and dont skip the pre-wash on the bag fabric or the patch adhesive wont bond properly. Stitch at normal speed for the fill areas, only slow down on the tiny star details if your machine jumps on fine points. Pop it on a blush pink fabric base and that silver-grey body reads as a nice contrast without going harsh. Dm me if you have questions about sizing for a specific project before you purchase.

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.
