Straight on tiger face, looking right at you. The fur on this one is done with individual directional sections for each stripe area and cheek patch, so when you look at it up close the texture actually reads like fur not just a flat orange fill. The eyes are amber with proper iris detail and the black stripe markings cut across the orange and white areas exactly how they should. 9 colours and alot of density in there.
And the stitch count on this one is big. Smallest size at 3.5 inches is already 34,000 stitches, largest at 7.5 inches pushes close to 93,000. So its not a quick project. But the result is genuinely the most photorealistic animal face Ive got in the whole collection. Its worth the machine time, dont let the numbers put you off.
So I get alot of customers asking for back of jacket tiger designs and this is the one I always point them to. Use a thick cutaway stabiliser, nothing lighter. The density at 1,676 stitches per square inch means the fabric needs serious support or youll get puckering in the orange sections. Hoop very firm and run slow on the full-face sections. Dont rush the first few colour layers.
Black, charcoal, dark navy and dark olive all work well as base fabrics. The orange pops hard against dark colours. Run at about 70 percent machine speed on the densest areas to keep the satin columns clean. If the bobbin tension gets inconsistent it shows immediately in the fur texture so check your thread path before you start.
One customer stitched the 7-in run on a fleece jacket last autumn and it honestly looked like a proper wildlife art piece.

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.
