This one took a few extra passes to get right, Ill be honest. The column packs in alot of elements: a satin arc headline at the top, a santa hat perched on the T, an orange-gold gift box dead centre, the word SHOP stacked below, and then the whole thing framed by tall curving bracket borders with oval dot accents running down both sides like fairy lights. It looks like a vintage carnival or toy-fair sign, which was exactly what I was going for.
4 colours in the sequence: dark red for outlines, red for the main satin areas, orange for the gift bow details, black for the bracket frames and some of the lettering. Density is 550, stitch counts range from 5,048 at 3.51 inches up to 11,451 at the top size 7.51 so the largest is a proper dense build. Cutaway stabiliser is non-negotiable on anything stretchy or loosely woven. One customer grabbed the 5.51-inch size and stitched it on thick wool-blend felt, said the bracket borders came out clean and the dot accents sat completely flat. I wasnt suprised, felt is actually a great base for this density.
Stitch it on a kids christmas bag or gift sack. Pop it on a holiday apron front. Use kraft-brown canvas or red denim if youre going for that carnival-sign vibe. Add cutaway under the bracket section no matter the fabric, that dense border area needs the extra hold. Run it on stiff craft felt for a christmas village scene prop and youll get zero puckering.

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.
