Knocked out this rainbow fingerprint after a string of pride month requests in june, and its turned into a steady year round seller. Its the standard tall oval fingerprint shape but the swirling ridge lines get stitched in six rainbow bands top to bottom. Red across the top, then orange yellow green blue and purple flowing down.
Every band follows the natural ridge curves of the print so the colour blocks bend and dip with the fingerprint pattern. No black outline anywhere, just colour against fabric. Looks kinda like someone pressed their thumb in wet paint and rolled it through a rainbow.
And the directional stitching is what makes it work. Each ridge runs along its own curve so the thread catches light differently on each band. Ive had alot of customers buy this one for pride march tees, and last june i sold out the bulk pricing twice in a fortnight.
5 sizes from 2.45 inches wide up to 5.25 inches wide. Stitch count runs 10,164 to 21,804 which sits in the middle range for density. Six colour changes total, one per rainbow band, so plan your thread order from red down to purple.
Best fabric here is plain white cream or charcoal cotton tees and totes where the rainbow colours sing. Skip dark navy fabric because blue band disappears against it. Use a cutaway behind any tee fabric, the multi colour fills can pull stretch knit fabric without proper support. Just message me if any file fails to load.

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.
