Took me a while to get this realistic deer head right. A buck on a black background, staring off to the side, antlers spread wide, that thick golden-brown neck ruff all puffed out. The satin runs in directional layers so the fur looks like its moving, not just filled flat. Antlers have proper column stitching up each tine, white thread at the muzzle, eye stitched tight, the whole thing reads like a painting from a foot away.
Its a big design. Nine sizes from 3.5 inches up to 7.5, stitch counts climbing from around 16,000 up to nearly 42,000 at the top. Hoop it with a cutaway stabiliser underneath, that density needs something solid to sit on. Use a topping sheet over any fabric with texture so the satin doesnt sink into the weave. Pop a piece of tearaway under light woven fabrics if you dont want the cutaway showing through. The underlay does alot of work holding everything flat before the fill goes down. professional digitising software handled the digitising, so the directional fur fill runs angle-by-angle across the neck and face without bunching at the stitch joins.
One customer hooped this for a set of hunting camp cushions last autumn, which honestly I hadnt thought of but it makes total sense. The 5-inch chest size on khaki cotton duck cushion looks brilliant. And youre looking at two thread shades only, one bobbin colour the whole run, minimal fuss.
Holler if you run into any trouble with the file after download and Ill make it right.

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.
