Cat & Dog Paw Mandala Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Cat plus dog paw mandala motif, real ornamental tattoo style. Up at the head of the paw, four oval toe pads run across in solid matte black. The central pad is where it gets interesting. Tucked into its left half sits a seated cat silhouette, seated dog on the right, both have long swirly tails looping out at the bottom in flourish shapes. Decorative curls, tiny hearts and flick details branch off around the toes. Reads almost like a tattoo when its small.

Single colour through and through. Black thread the entire way, makes it dead easy to stitch out. Theres no thread changes mid-hoop, just load up black, hoop and youre off. Digitised inside industry-grade software for Tajima output. The cat and dog are negative-space carved out of central pad so contrast does the work, you dont need to colour-match anything. Satin column fills on the swirly tails keep those curves smooth even when ya scale down.

Four sizes here. Widths 2.5 inch on the smallest, climbing to 5.5 inch. Heights run 2.44 through 5.38 inches across. Stitch count is 5,847 on small, ending at 18,336 on the largest. Density is decent so black fill stays solid, it doesnt go patchy. Drop a medium cutaway under jersey tees and sweatshirts. Tearaway works on canvas totes and duck cloth. The black satin areas need proper backing or theyll pucker on stretchy bases.

One customer messaged me back in march wanting a single design covering both her household pets, this one nails that in just one stitch-out. Stitch the 4 incher on a cotton tote for the dog-and-cat-mum in your life. Hoop the smallest on a pet collar bandanna corner. People have been ordering alot since spring for vet clinic merch and pet rescue fundraiser tees, the mandala detail photographs nicely on lifestyle shots. Pair with cream, sand, sage or pale grey fabric, the solid black silhouette pops clean against soft neutrals.
