I made this back in october when I was working through a big batch of halloween requests, and the skeleton witch just stuck around as a favourite. Its got 22,399 stitches packed into a 3.5 inch wide frame, and with 7 colours there's alot going on but it holds together really clean on finished fabric. Digitised in the digitising software at a density of 428, thats on the denser side, so underlay matters here. Run a solid cutaway stabiliser and dont skimp on the topping if youre stitching on fleece or terry cloth.
And honestly the stitch direction is what makes a design like this read well from a distance. The satin columns on the hat brim and the cloak flow in different directions so the eye separates them even in similar dark tones. I had a customer order it last september for a set of halloween staff aprons at a bakery, and she said the skeleton detail came out sharper than she expected even on textured cotton canvas. Thats the kind of feedback that makes the extra colour stops worth it.
So use it on sweatshirts, tote bags, kids costumes, pillow covers, whatever you're hooping for the season. Pick a dense woven cotton or denim for cleanest results. Keep your bobbin tension even, at 428 density the underside can bunch if tension drifts. Holler if you run into any file trouble and I'll get you sorted out straight away.

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.
