Worked this one as a classic web shape with the spider hanging below it on a single thread. The web fans out from a point at the top center, spokes going down and outward, arc strands connecting at even intervals. Below the bottom of the web theres a straight thread dropping to a solid oval black spider body with 8 legs splayed out. Its simple. Really simple. But it reads exactly like a halloween web should at every size.
My sister stitched this across a row of 4 trick-or-treat bags last october and knocked them all out in an afternoon because the stitch count is so low, under 3,000 stitches even at the 4.7-inch largest size. Run a layer of lightweight tearaway stabiliser behind the fabric before hooping, thats all this design needs cos the density is only 84 stitches per square centimetre. Use white or light grey thread on dark fabric so the individual web strands read as separate lines rather than a blob. Stitch it slow on the spider body if your machine struggles with the tiny satin oval.
Five sizes in the download, 2.19 to 4.7 inches wide, all taller than wide because of the dangling spider below. The 3-inch version works on a shirt chest, the 4.7-inch on a bag front. Good for beginners cos theres only 1 colour and almost nothing that can go wrong at this density level.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Trick-or-treat bags and candy sacksThe low stitch count makes it easy to run 6 or more bags in a single session without thread fatigue.
- Halloween t-shirts and sweatshirts for kidsCentered on a kids t-shirt chest in the 3-inch size, reads clearly without overwhelming the shirt.
- Pillowcase accents for seasonal bedroom decorPlace one in each corner of a white pillowcase for a coordinated halloween bedding set.
- Tote bag front or corner for a subtle halloween lookOn a black tote in white thread the web lines read like a printed graphic, very high contrast finish.
- Table napkin corner accents for a halloween dinnerStitch on a cloth napkin corner, the design is small enough to fit without touching the fold lines.
- Patches for denim jackets or bagsThe 2.19-inch version makes a tight compact patch that fits on a denim collar point or bag flap.
- Beginner embroidery projects for first halloween sewingSingle color, no thread changes, very low density, basically ideal for a first halloween embroidery project.

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.
