The lips are parted just enough to let the fangs show, its not a wide open mouth, more like a smirk with teeth. Three blood drops hang from the lower lip, the middle one is the longest and the outer two are shorter, it gives the whole thing a really uneven drip that looks natural. Scarlet satin on the lips, cream white on the fangs, ruby on the drip tips. Dense fill throughout, this is a complex design and the stitch count shows it.
The full range goes from 17,046 on the smallest 3-in version up to 49,016 on the 7.5-inch run onto a full canvas or denim back panel. Youll need a heavy cutaway stabiliser under this, dont use tearaway, the density is 932 and itll pucker on anything less than proper cutaway backing. Use a 90/14 needle on denim or canvas, a 75/11 on lighter wovens. Slow your machine down on the satin fill sections. The underlay pass is important here, dont skip it.
This one sells really well in october but I also get orders year-round from the gothic fashion crowd. One customer ordered the 6-inch version for the back of a black denim jacket, she said customers at her market stall kept stopping to ask about it. I get alot of repeat buyers on this particular design because people stitch it on a shirt, someone sees it, and then theyll want one too. Run it on black tee fabric first before anything fancy, black hides stabiliser edges if you cut abit close.
Stitch the lips first, then the fangs, then the drips last for correct layering. Use a tight hoop and dont let the fabric shift mid-run. Pick a medium-weight black canvas or tee as your base fabric since the density holds better on woven than pure stretch jersey.

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.
