Cat with Butterfly & Flowers Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a cat looking up at a lil butterfly like its the only thing in the world right now. The cat face is drawn in profile, neck stretched upward, nose almost touching the butterfly perched just above. The fur has proper directional stitching so ya can see each layer from the chest up through the cheek and around the ear. Whiskers are sharp single-needle lines that actually look like whiskers rather than a blurry grey smudge.

Below the neck theres a bunch of botanicals. Some open petal flowers, a few leaves, berry-type clusters. They flow naturally from the cats chest like the whole design grew upward from a garden bed. The butterfly itself is lil and delicate up top, two small wings outlined simply. The contrast between the heavily digitised cat fur and those lighter botanical lines is what makes the composition work, its not trying to be the same density everywhere and thats a good thing.

A customer at a cat cafe ordered a dozen of the 4-inch size last spring, all on cream canvas aprons for their staff. She sent photos and the fur detailing showed up really realy well even at that mid size. Since then Ive been recommending the 5.16-inch for tote bags and the smaller 2.58-inch for patch-style pocket placements on shirts or bags.

Use a cutaway stabiliser underneath on jersey or any knit. Tearaway works fine on stable woven cotton and denim. Pop the medium piece on a fawn canvas tote for the cleanest read. Skip busy printed fabric here because the open flower outlines need breathing room against a plain ground. The chest flower section has 91 trims in the 4-inch so let the machine do its thing at its normal pace.

Single colour means no colour changes, no stopping mid-stitch, which honestly makes the whole stitch-out much easier than it looks. Ping me if something goes sideways with the download or the file doesnt open right in your software.
