My friend stitched this onto a black denim jacket panel and posted a pic after, genuinely looked like a piece of flash tattoo art transferred onto fabric. The tiger is facing forward in a low crouch, staring right at you, and tropical flowers and leaves wrap around it on all sides. Its done as pure line art in black, no colour fill at all, just the outlines and contour details picked out in thread.
Pop a tearaway stabiliser under the fabric before you hoop it. The line-art style needs things held steady or the outlines wobble, specially across the long stem sections that cross open ground. Single thread, no stops mid-run, which makes it pretty forgiving to set up. Use a size 75/11 sharp needle on wovens and slow the machine down to around 600 spm for the finer detail sections, thats where it really pays off.
Stitch it on heavy wovens like denim, canvas or thick cotton twill. Skip anything lightweight or stretchy, the density isnt there to grip on unstable fabric and the lines will pull. Seven sizes, 2.7 inches wide at the smallest up to just over 4 inches, height runs from 5.5 to 8.5 inches. Even the small size is quite tall so its good for sleeves, jacket backs, trouser leg panels, anywhere you've got some length to fill.

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.
