{"product_id":"black-cat","title":"Black Cat Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis black cat has the classic halloween pose, arched back, fur spiked up along the spine in sharp points, narrow slit eyes that read a bit suspicious and a curled tail looping up like a question mark. Its the silhouette you picture when someone says black cat. The directional satin columns run with the body contours, so the fur texture reads at even the smallest size (2.58 x 3.51 in). The whiskers are individual satin strokes fanning out from the muzzle, 3 on each side. At the 5.52 x 7.51 inch size youre at 32,000 stitches, which is dense work, so the cutaway stabiliser isnt optional on that one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emy digitising suite routed the colour sequencing to minimise jumps between the white underlay and the black top layer. The 2-colour setup uses white thread first as a foundation so the black satin doesnt sink into the fabric weave. A customer who Emailed me last week about puckering, turned out they skipped that underlay pass thinking it was unnecessary, it isnt. The bobbin tension matters alot on dense black work like this because its easy for the underside to show through the top stitches if its too tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse heavy cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy. Stitch on an orange tea towel, the matte black reads sharp against that contrast, which is the combo I'd go to first for halloween kitchen decor. Add a topping on cotton terry or waffle weave to stop the satin columns flattening into the loops. Pop it on the chest of a black zip hoodie and it goes full tonal, subtle but still readable at an angle where light catches the satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople use this for halloween decorating projects but also just for cat-themed gifts year round. Its not seasonal if you think about it, black cats dont belong to just october.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46268120334486,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BlackCatEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772352538","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/black-cat","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
