Spooky season. Those two words have been typed into my shop search a bunch of times in the last few years and I knew I needed a ghost to go with em. This lil ghost is 7,932 stitches, just 2 colours, and sits at 2.95 inches wide by 3.5 tall. Simple, fast to stitch, done in one hoop session.
The density is 119, on the lighter side, which is actually intentional. A heavier density on white satin fill tends to look stiff and a bit plasticky on fabric, but at 119 it stays soft and the underlay keeps the ghost shape clean without puckering. Use a lightweight tearaway stabiliser on most fabrics, or a cutaway if youre going on a stretchy base like a knit beanie.
3 colour stops, wait, only 2. That means one thread change max. Nice. Drop it on a childs tote or a halloween-themed tea towel and youre done. Ive had customers use it on white cotton pillowcases aswell where the ghost blends into the base fabric and only the outline shows, looks alot more interesting than you'd expect.
Digitised in my main software so the sequencing is clean. Works on cotton, felt, canvas, fleece. Ping me if theres a problem with the file and Ill sort it. Drop a chat message if the punch needs tweaking and Ill update it.

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.
