Cat Heart Paw Print Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Cat face in profile takes up the left half of a heart shape, pointed ears up top, a small eye detail visible in the black satin fill. Right half of the heart is a big paw print, the main central pad surrounded by 4 bean-shaped toe pads above it. And then from that paw print theres a trail of smaller paw prints cascading down toward the bottom point of the heart, each one a bit smaller than the last, like the cat just walked straight through the design and left prints behind.

Single colour black, thats it. One thread stop, no colour changes at all, 47 trims holding the whole thing together. The density is kept light enough that the cascading trail of tiny prints doesnt turn into a muddy blob at the smallest sizes, which is actually harder to get right than it sounds. my software digitised this so the satin fill direction on the cat silhouette runs at an angle that catches light differently from the paw pad fills, giving the design visual texture even in all-black.

Im surprised how often this one gets ordered for items that arent obvious. One customer told me she wanted it on a white cotton tote for a friend who lost her cat last spring, and the black really stood out clean against that pale base. Seen it alot on black aprons for cat cafe staff, on grey sweatshirts, on linen tea towels. its a design that that doesnt need colour to work because the shapes are strong enough on their own.

Looks best on white, cream or pale grey fabric. On black fabric youll need to run it in white or light grey thread and swap the bobbin aswell to match. Use cutaway stabiliser, hoop tight, and keep the machine at a steady mid-speed for the small cascading prints so they stitch individually and dont clump. Slow right down for the tiny bottom prints. 5 sizes, smallest at 3.43 inch wide right up through 7.35 inch for large tote or jacket work.

Send me a note if you want a different colourway layout and Ill see whats possible.
