Pulled together this spider web heart for the gothic halloween crowd and its kinda become a favourite of mine honestly. The heart shape is solid but the inside is all spider web, three big spiders sitting at the top two corners and the bottom point of the heart with webs radiating out from each of em. Little stars and crescent moon shapes are scattered through the web background so it doesnt just look like a flat mesh.
All done in black, just 1 colour with no stops mid-stitch so you load it and run. The web strands use proper satin column stitching rather than just run stitches so they stay crisp and dont flatten out after washing. Spiders have a raised satin body with leg detail and the stars are tiny outline shapes with enough density to hold their form down to the smaller sizes.
My customers who do gothic home decor stuff go crazy for this one. A customer this past halloween season sent me a photo of it stitched on a black canvas cushion and the white stitching on black actually reversed the whole colour scheme which looked genuinely brilliant. Worth trying on dark fabrics with white or grey thread for that effect.
Five sizes from 3.23 inches wide up to 6.95 inches. Stitch count goes from 14,941 up to 31,067 at the largest. Use cutaway on stretch fabrics, the central web density can pull on jersey without decent backing. Woven cotton or canvas is fine with a standard tearaway. Avoid busy patterned fabrics, the web detail needs a clean background to read properly.

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.
