Santa in a red sleigh, one reindeer out front pulling hard, head down in that low-neck galloping pose like its actually moving. The sleigh has a proper scroll curl on the front edge in green with red fill body, and Santas sack sits behind him with gifts overflowing and a candy cane poking out of the top. Santa waves one arm, which gives the whole thing energy instead of just sitting static.
11 thread colors across 10 changes. my digitising suite layered two brown shades on the reindeer coat, which you really see at the larger sizes. At 40,531 stitches for the biggest, thats a proper run-time piece. The smallest at 18,881 stitches works fine for a last-minute project. I ran the 4.99 inch wide size on a red fleece blanket last christmas and the green harness straps sat flat without pulling. A customer who teaches primary school told me she stitched it on 12 small tote bags for her class gift wrapping station and it was a hit with the parents.
Wide horizontal composition, roughly 5 inches across at the middle sizes, so plan shirt placement in advance. Hoop polymesh behind fleece and tearaway behind woven cotton. Pop firm cutaway behind denim or canvas. Center it on a sweatshirt chest. Stitch it across a stocking body where the horizontal span has room to read at full width.
Its great for stockings, sweatshirts, holiday placemats, or a canvas bag for someone who has Santa figurines on their mantle. The candy cane in the sack links it to other Christmas candy designs if youre building a matching product set across different items.

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.
