Pulled this together for people who wanted a proper dragon, not a cute one. This is the kind you'd put on a fantasy gaming jacket or a medieval-themed quilt block. Full body standing pose, wings spread, neck out, mouth open, it reads instantly as 'dragon' even at the small size. The body fill is red and dark red with the directional satin running horizontal across the torso so you get scale texture without actual applique scales.
Digitised through my standard software with the underlay doing the heavy work on the wing membranes. Wings are a big flat area and they can pucker if the underlay isnt right so I mapped those carefully, running underlay at 45 degrees under the red satin to keep everything flat. 6 colours total: red, dark red, pink-blush, white, khaki, and black. Apply firm cutaway any stretch fabric. Stitch it on canvas or cotton with tearaway and it comes out crisp. Add a topping on terry cloth or textured fleece so the outline details dont sink into the pile. Pick the 4.3-inch size for most standard jacket chest placements.
Customers keep asking for this one for gaming merch. One customer ordered the 7-inch file for a backpack back panel and it came out sharp with the wing tips reaching almost to the edges. Also suprised at how many people use it on fantasy-themed baby quilts, something about the bold red and black outline that works well on bright fabrics. And in the last few months Ive had a bunch of orders where people are using it for gaming club patches. Text me if something is off with the file and Ill rebuild it.
5 sizes ranging from 3.37 to 7.2 inches wide. Stitch count from 23,235 up to 56,292. Total thread on the largest is about 450 feet so thats a decent-length run.

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.
