Stitched out this spider corner border design a couple of halloweens back and its really one of those pieces that looks kinda kinda great on anything with a corner or an edge. The spiders arrange themselves in an L shape, like they are actually crawling across the corner of whatever fabric you hooped. Each individual spider is facing a slightly different angle, so it reads as genuinely scattered rather than just stamped repeatedly.
Its just one colour, black, solid satin fills on the bodies and satin column legs on each spider. Digitising at this density keeps the legs crisp even at the smallest size. Stitch count runs from 7,419 at the 3.5-in size for up to 14,765 at the full 7.4 inch size, which isnt bad for a design with this many individual legs.
Comes in 5 sizes, near-square format, widths from 3.46 to 7.39 inches, heights 3.52 to 7.52 inches. One customer told me she used the large for a halloween pillow corner and then stitched all four corners of the same pillow, it looked like the spiders had genuinely taken over. Pair it with a web design in the center for a full halloween composition.
Stitch on cotton, canvas, denim, quilting fabric or linen. Use a tearaway stabiliser for wovens, cutaway for stretch. Skip white or very pale backgrounds since the black spiders wont show up, they need a mid to dark ground.

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.
