{"product_id":"black-cat-santa-hat","title":"Black Cat with Santa Hat Embroidery Design, Christmas Cat, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack cat wearing a red santa hat and looking like it absolutely did not agree to this. Classic cat energy, that flat expression that says festive occasion is not my thing but here we are. The hat is bright red with a white bobble perched on the tip and a white trim band at the brim, sitting slightly off-centre on the cats head the way a hat would actually sit on a real cat who is barely tolerating it. Six colours in the file: solid black for the cat body, bright red for the hat, white and pink for the accents, cream for the face highlights and grey for the shading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes, ranges from 3.5 inch at the smallest run through 7.5, heights ranging from 2.36 to 5.06 inches. Stitch count runs from 8,279 at the smallest up to 29,486 at the largest. Theres decent detail in the cat face even at the smaller sizes because industry tools kept the linework clean on the whisker stitching and the eye outlines. The 776 density keeps it firmly manageable on most home machines without any bogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI sell more of these in november than any other christmas design. Cat owners dont want a standard festive shirt, they want their cat represented at christmas, preferably looking unimpressed. My friend ordered the 5-inch version last year for a sweatshirt for her daughter who has 3 cats, and sent a quick snap of the daughter wearing it next to all three actual cats on christmas morning. They were all equally unbothered. Its the only christmas photo Ive genuinely saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on white, cream or grey cotton for the best black cat contrast. Avoid black or very dark navy base because the cat silhouette vanishes. Use tearaway stabiliser for anything under 4 inches and switch to cutaway above that given the increasing density. Hoop snug and keep tension even to keep the whisker lines crisp. Pop the 4-in face on a sand canvas tote as a quick gift for any cat person in your life. Avoid shiny satin fabric because the flat black fill tends to pucker on non-woven surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46074156908694,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BlackCatwithSantaHatEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1767775507","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/black-cat-santa-hat","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
