9 colours and 50,840 stitches at the large size is firmly in the advanced category. The white beard satin fills alone are a dozen separate sections across 3 gnomes, and embroidery software sequenced it so each beard completes before moving to the next character. Density comes out at 1,294 which is the highest in the range, so youre going to want a heavy-weight cutaway stabiliser and a firm hoop. Float the item if youre working on something you cant mark with a hoop ring, like a finished tote or a pre-sewn apron bib.
Stitch range is 22,446 at a 3.5 baseline size to 50,840 at 7.5 max-inch version. 9 colour stops means this is a design ya sit with, not a 10-minute run. But the result is worth it, you get 3 distinct characters that look hand-illustrated rather than mechanical. Use the PDF colour chart for thread matching, it shows the Tajima equivalent codes for each of the nine stops. Spray the top of napped fabrics like fleece with a light stabiliser mist so the beard satin sections stay in register during the white fill pass.
A customer told me last year this was her best-selling St. Patricks item for the third time running. The wide landscape format suits bar towels and aprons naturally. Stitch the full 7.5-in run on a white cotton bar towel and it looks like something you bought in a tourist shop. Skip stretchy knits for this one, the density and size combination pulls too much on anything without cutaway backing. Pair the design with a solid green border on the towel edge and youre done.

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.
