This one comes straight at you. The panther fills the whole frame, jet black fur fading into the black background so only the face proper reads, and then the mouth drops open and every detail hits at once. Nine colours in there. Yellow eyes up top catching light, a dusty pink nose, long white fangs with that slightly yellowed realistic base, the inside of the mouth showing red muscle and pink tongue, and then that scrubby off-white chin fur ruffled out around the jaw.
The fur direction stitching is what makes it work. Short close-packed satin runs follow the way the coat actually lays, curving around the cheekbones and flaring out at the chin. Thats the kind of work that takes time to digitise properly and it shows when you stitch it out. Density sits at 914 stitches per square inch so its a meaty piece, up to 30,000 stitches on the large size. Woven denim, canvas, thick cotton twill, or genuine leather all handle this without the base fabric warping.
Five sizes, smallest at 2.07 by 3.49 inches, biggest at 4.45 by 7.5. The large goes full chest on a jacket back panel. A bloke I sold this to last winter put the big version across the chest of a black bomber jacket and sent her snap and said it looked proper hard. Medium works on a sleeve or shoulder placement too. So if you want something that actually reads on dark fabric without getting lost, this delivers.
Use a medium to heavy cutaway stabiliser, no exceptions at this stitch count. Float a tearaway on top for any jacket lining where you dont want stabiliser showing through on the inside. Slow the machine down on the white and yellow areas so the thread colour doesnt blur at the edges. Pin the thread topping tight so those fine eye details dont feather into the weave. Send a message if anything in the file gives trouble and ill take a look.

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.
