{"product_id":"but-first-coffee-cat","title":"But First, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eRight at the top size, this clocks nearly 49,000 stitches and the machine earns every one. The fur across the tabby chest uses tight directional satin columns that angle separately on the forehead stripes versus the cheeks so theres actual visible lift and shadow, not just a flat orange patch. The scarf coiling around the cat body gets a looser tatami underlay to read soft against all that dense fur, and the coffee mug comes through in clean terracotta satin with a tiny steam swirl at the top. Density sits at 1340 across the design, which means its comfortable on stiff canvas or denim without distorting the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne crafter who messaged me last month ran this on a set of linen aprons for her market stall, 4.9 inches wide, centred on the bib. She said its now her best-selling item. The \"But first, Coffee\" lettering below the cat sits in a rounded script fill with a warm golden-amber colour and a subtle shadow layer underneath, so even if your bobbin tension drifts slightly the letters still read sharp and clean. Needs a cutaway stabiliser on stretchy tees or fleece because the stitch count will absolutely pull on jersey without proper support. On cotton twill or heavy linen you can get away with a medium tearaway if you hoop really tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it against cream or charcoal thread backgrounds and the orange tones hit harder. Try the small 2.29 inch width on a mug rug or a small zip pouch front. Cut your jump stitches between the cat illustration and the lettering zone before you pull from the hoop or theyll drag threads right across the script. Skip topping film on canvas since the weave registers the needle clean without it. Iron your stabiliser flat before hooping so the dense underlay doesnt bunch at the corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend me a quick note if you want it resized for a tricky spot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46435746775190,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ButFirst_CoffeeCatMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782531628","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/but-first-coffee-cat","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
