Straight-on face, perfectly centred, rack spreading wide left and right. Its the frontal mount look, like something youd see above a fireplace, and thats exactly the energy it brings to a project. The stitch work goes deep on this one, 35,659 at 5 inch and 80,139 at the full 10 inch width. Thats over 488 feet of thread on the large size, so plan your bobbin changes ahead of time.
Five colors handle all the tonal work: a warm grey base layer, a bright white on the muzzle and eye highlight areas, two shades of brown for the face and neck, and dense black outlining every edge and antler tip. The fur texture on the neck uses short directional stitch runs to simulate actual growth, which is where the realism comes from. Six color changes, 74 trims across the design. Ive had buyers tell me the muzzle white highlight is what makes it look photographic. A customer ordered the 10 inch last christmas for a cabin wall piece and emailed me the result of the finished piece framed, it genuinely looked like a mounted trophy.
Run poly stabiliser beneath denim weave at the 8 to 10 inch sizes. For canvas or duck cloth, the fabric holds fine on its own. Dont attempt this on thin knit without proper backing or the dense fill sections will tunnel. Use a fresh needle, 80/12 embroidery, for any run above 7 inch. Run a test swatch before committing to your final piece at these stitch counts. Hoop your backing taut so the wide rack doesnt pull off-grain mid-run.
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.
- Large-format back panels on hunting and outdoor jacketsThe 10 inch width fills a jacket back panel without scaling tricks, and the 5-color depth holds well on dark base fabrics.
- Wildlife blankets and throws for cabin and lodge decorDirectional fur stitching on the neck ruff adds tactile texture that buyers notice when they touch it.
- Framed hoop art centerpiece above a fireplace or entrywayCentered frontal composition suits framed square hoops without needing asymmetric matting.
- Taxidermy-alternative wall art on stretched linen canvasStretched linen takes the high stitch density at the large sizes without distortion when hooped properly.

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.
