Heres the vintage red Fiat hauling a full christmas tree on the roof, kinda like that famous holiday card scene from way back. The car itself has that lil bubble shape, all curves and chrome bumpers, bright red body with a darker red shade underneath for the panel lines. Powder blue windows, dark purple hubcaps, and the tree up top carries orange yellow and purple baubles plus a sand-coloured star ornament. Ropes hold the tree down, you can see em looping across the green branches.
11 colours which is alot, so be ready to swap thread heaps. Color order goes red, grey, green, orange, sand, yellow, purple, sand, powder blue, then black for the outlines. Stitches run from 21,846 on the smallest 2.92 inch version up to 52,358 on the largest 6.25 inch. Density is heavy at 1115 so cutaway stabiliser is non-negotiable here, ya cant skip it. Ive digitised it in embroidery software with proper underlay and directional satin on the car panels and christmas tree branches, the panels actually look like sheet metal not flat fill.
One customer ordered the largest size for a batch of christmas market tote bags in cream canvas, she sold thirty of em at a holiday fair last december and the car looked properly vintage from across the booth. The 4 inch size also fits onto a sweatshirt chest perfectly.
Best results on smooth cotton, canvas, denim or felt where the heavy stitch count can sit flat. Use polyester thread, the reds need to stay punchy after washing. Skip jersey and stretch fabrics, the dense fill will pucker em. Hoop firmly with cutaway underneath, and use a topping layer if you're stitching onto fleece or anything with pile. Centre the design carefully before you start because the 96 trims mean theres alot of jumps to clip. Text me a chat if your machine struggles with the colour stops and Ill walk you through which ones can be combined safely.

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.
