The concept here is kinda clever and I was actually happy with how the digitising came out. Its a feather, a long elegant one, but every single barb is filled with tiger stripe pattern. So the stripes dont just sit on top of the feather shape, they actually follow the curve of each individual barb flowing outward from the quill. You get that hot orange and charcoal black tiger colouring but it reads as a feather silhouette from a distance. Close up you realise the whole surface is tiger. Kinda a double-take piece.
Five colours in the file: burnt orange, deep charcoal, ivory white, warm tan, and a rust brown for the quill spine. The density is 1803 which is gonna feel high, thats because those feather segments need tight tatami fill to keep the markings crisp without gaps. my embroidery software handled the digitising and the satin column quill is the part that took the longest to get right because it needs to sit on top of the barb fills cleanly. Nine sizes from 3.51 inches wide up to top 7-in.51 inches, stitch counts run 15,419 to 36,281.
I sell alot of these to customers customising boho jewellery and leather accessory items. One customer who runs a small leather goods shop in Austin messaged me last october saying she stitches the 3.51-inch version onto hand-stitched leather cuffs for her etsy shop and her customers think its hand-painted until they get close. Thats the kind of feedback that makes digitising feel worth it. The design also goes hard on denim.
Stitch on black or dark denim for maximum contrast, the orange and ivory pop against dark ground. Run it on canvas tote bags, jacket sleeves, denim shirt yokes. Skip light pastel fabric because the ivory white gets lost and the tiger markings blur together. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath regardless of fabric, the density on this file needs firm backing or everything shifts during stitching. Hoop your denim firmly, no slop.
Add a light water-soluble topping if youre stitching on any textured or napped fabric so the fine barb edges sit up clean. Send me a note if the file timing feels off on your machine and ill pull the jump stitches between colour changes to tighten the run.

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.
