My friend Yemi runs a small jacket customisation business and she texted me after running this at the largest size on a denim oversized jacket back. Said the density alone made it look like a velvet applique panel rather than thread. Thats kind of the point with this design, the density is 1,562 per square centimetre, the highest of any tree we do.
Four greens working together: bright tip highlights on the branch ends, mid emerald on the main body, deep shadow in the recesses between tiers, and a subtle lime catch on the front-facing surfaces. The foliage clumps are rounded and full so it reads more like a real spruce than a flat graphic silhouette. Up close youll see the directional underlay running across and the satin cover stitches perpendicular on top.
Run a layer of firm cutaway under your fabric, non-negotiable at the large sizes. the 7-in feature at 60,404 stitches puts real pressure on any weave and the branch tips will distort without solid support underneath. Use a topping on pique or polo mesh too, otherwise the fine tip stitches sink into the surface. Hoop it tight and run a slow speed if your machine allows.
Comes in 4 sizes between 4.51 and 7.51 inches wide. Stitch count starts at 34,903 even at the smallest size, so even the compact version is a serious run. Its the kind you stitch when you want the result to look like it took someone a long time, because it kind of did.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Jacket back panels for denim or heavy canvasThe large 7.5 inch version fills a jacket back beautifully with enough density that it reads as a centrepiece, not an accent.
- Premium outdoor brand gear and equipmentOutdoor gear brands with premium positioning use high stitch count designs to signal quality on their softgoods.
- Wool blanket centre motif for cabin decorStitched in the centre of a heavy wool throw it becomes the focal point of the whole piece without feeling forced.
- Lodge and chalet soft furnishing panelsOn a velvet or chenille cushion the dense fill interacts with the pile in a way that looks almost woven.
- High-end customised aprons for outdoor chefsA full-chest apron placement on waxed cotton reads as proper artisan work when the stitch density is this high.
- Wedding or event signage on fabric bannersLinen or canvas banner fabric handles this density well and the result reads like hand-blocked printing.
- Showcase piece for embroidery portfolio displayRun at full size in a 10-inch hoop frame, this is the kind of piece that gets saved and pinned on maker forums.

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.
