And this one just works for christmas stockings and wall hoops without needing alot of setup. The letters S-A-N-T-A stack straight down, each one a bold satin block with tiny red dot lights running along both sides of the column. Looks like one of those old-school wooden holiday signs you'd find in a farmhouse kitchen, but stitched out on fabric. The red octagon STOP sits right below, and the word 'here' trails off in loose cursive underneath it. Heres the thing about vertical designs on cutaway stabiliser, they hold shape real well on stiff items like stockings, table runners, even canvas totes.
Its digitised in my software, 2 colours total (Red and Black), and runs 5,044 stitches at the chest piece up to 11,277 at the largest. Use a firm medium-weight cutaway for anything stretchy, tearaway works fine on woven fabric. The satin columns on each letter need proper hooped tension or you'll get density gaps in the middle of the letters. Stitch a test run on scrap first, especially if youre going on velvet or fleece where the surface grabs thread differently.
One customer ordered this for a family santa-tracking wall hanging last year, said it was the first thing guests asked about when they walked in. Comes in five sizes, 3.51 down to 0.98 inches wide. Pop the large size on a canvas tote for gift carrying, or use the small end on a felt gift tag patch. Skip dark red backgrounds, the black letters disappear unless you run a light underlay first.

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.
