Stitched out this design because the silly goose meme had been circling my Instagram feed for months and I kept getting messages asking if Id do a goose design. The goose in this one is mid-strut, wings angled out, feet planted like its about to cause some kind of scene. Around or below it sits the text Turn On Silly Goose Mode in chunky bold arc lettering. Its chaotic and thats kind of the whole vibe.
11 colours sounds like alot but its mostly the goose body detail. The white body satin runs with grey shadow underlay to give the rounded form some depth. Orange satin columns on the beak and feet, black for the thick cartoon outlines and the text arcs, then the remaining colours handle small accent details and the backdrop fill if theres one. the digitising software kept density at 788 which keeps the bold text columns full without distorting the lighter goose body fill areas. The directional fill on the wings gives the white feathers a slightly textured look rather than flat white.
This one picked up alot of traction with the funny animal shirt crowd last winter. A customer who makes personalised gifts told me she ordered 3 different sizes in one go because shes got 3 different hoop frames and wanted to batch this across a few blank sweatshirts for a group of friends. She said they messaged each other photos wearing them all on the same day. Sweatshirt fleece needs a cutaway stabiliser here, the density is substantial enough that tearaway will lift mid-run on stretch fabric.
Use cutaway stabiliser on fleece and stretch knits. Hoop snug so the arc text stays consistent from the start of the run through to the last colour change. Pop the middle hoops around 4 or 5-in motif on a hoodie or sweatshirt chest for the best reading distance on the text, its wide enough to catch the whole phrase clearly. Run the smaller 3-in chest size on tote or patch if you want a more subtle placement. Skip very pale or white fabric if you want the white goose body to read, put it on a mid-tone or dark base instead.

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.
