Just the pumpkin outline in burnt orange and warm brown, no solid fill, no background, no extra elements. The ribs are drawn as individual curved lines that run top to bottom like theyre carved into the surface, and a small curled stem sits at the crown. Thats it. Five clean lines of colour holding a classic pumpkin shape together without over-complicating it.
Stitch count is low on purpose: 4,869 at the smallest, 11,094 at the 7.51-inch top end. Density is 202, about as light as a design gets while still looking tidy. Its fast to run, even the largest size wont take long. Batch a set of 6 linen napkins in an afternoon without burning out your stabiliser budget. I get messages from people every fall saying they wish they found this sooner, specifically because it runs so quickly on repeat orders. One buyer last october picked it up to personalise a full set of thanksgiving tea towels for her market stall, she ran 20 pieces in a single session.
Five colours in the file: burnt orange for the main rib outlines, deep brown on the stem, warm tan for the subtle shading inside the pumpkin curves, soft olive as an optional accent, and off-white or cream thread for any background highlight on dark fabric. the software I use handled the satin outlines cleanly at all 5 sizes, the rib lines stay consistent from 3.51 inches up to 7.51.
Use tearaway stabiliser on lighter fabrics like linen and cotton. Swap to a soft cutaway on canvas or denim where the outline needs the extra grip at the tight curve points on the ribs. Hoop tight so the long rib lines dont drift sideways during the run. Skip fluffy fleece on the outline sizes, the loop structure grabs the thread and pulls the satin columns out of shape. Text me if youre running this on a machine with known tension issues at low densities and Ill send you an adjustment version.
the zip carries 8 different machine formats. If you cant find your format in there, text me and Ill check it the same day.

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.
