Black Cat Moon Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The cat is shown in side profile, head up, ears alert, sitting right inside the curve of a big salmon-pink crescent moon. Its solid black with fine white whisker lines radiating out from the muzzle and a single teal eye that kinda just glows in the middle of all that darkness. The crescent behind it is a pale coral-salmon fill with black outline, and its really just kinda the frame the whole composition hangs on.

Below the cats neck theres a collar of roses and slate-blue botanical leaves, not over the top, just a little cluster sitting right at the chin line where a real cats collar would sit. And from the base of the design these geometric string lines drop down, thread-thin satin lines with tiny pink star shapes and a little black crescent moon dangling at the very bottom. It gives the whole thing a dreamcatcher quality. Five colours total: black, salmon, slate blue, white detail lines and that teal eye pop. Four sizes from 2.92 by 4.50 inches at the smallest to 4.87 by 7.50 at the largest.

I got a message last october from a witchy boutique owner in Portland who was digitising her autumn window display totes. She wanted something that wasnt just a pumpkin, something with more of a gothic-romantic feel. This is the one she picked and she said customers kept asking where the bags came from, so I know the design travels well on merchandise.

Run this on black cotton for maximum contrast, the salmon moon pops off dark fabric kinda beautifully. Cream linen works too if ya want a softer vintage-poster feel. Avoid mid-toned grey fabric because the black cat fill goes invisible and you only see the salmon crescent. Run a medium cutaway under, 30k stitches at the biggest size needs proper backing. The satin whisker lines are only about 0.3mm wide so stabiliser tension matters more than usual here.

Hoop firmly at the start and dont re-hoop mid-job. The dangling star lines at the bottom are the most finnicky section, the satin columns on em are short and dense and they need the fabric completely flat or ya get puckering. Slow the machine down for those bottom elements and youll be fine.
