This one took a long time to digitise properly and the stitch count shows it. Pull up the 5-inch preview in the PDF and youll see the detail inside the silhouette, jersey creasing, fingers on the splayed hand, boot lace shapes. Its all one black thread but the directional satin fill changes across every body segment so theres actual visual depth to the figure. At 7 inches and 31,523 stitches its genuinely one of the most detailed single-colour designs Ive made.
Stitch count goes from 10,292 at the smallest 3-inch size up to 31,523 at 7 inches. Stick to mid cutaway on anything stretchy like jersey fabric. For cotton canvas or denim a standard tearaway is fine. The density holds the satin fill completely flat even on knit blanks, no lifting or gapping.
I get a lot of reorders on this one from football academy coordinators who want a proper action logo rather than a static ball patch. One academy last spring ordered it on 40 training tops for their U14 squad, and the coordinator messaged me at the end of the season to say every single one was still clean and sharp after weekly washing. Stitch the 4 or 5-inch on a jacket breast pocket for a badge-sized version, or go to 7 inches on the back panel to genuinely fill the space. Pop it on a velvet presentation bag with the player's squad number for an end-of-season keepsake that actually means something. Five files in the download.

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.
