{"product_id":"cat-heart","title":"Cat in Heart Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a cat face, a really fluffy one, peering out from inside a large swirling heart. This design took me abit longer to get right than I expected, mainly because of the fur detail inside the heart frame. The heart outline isnt drawn in a simple curve, its more like a flowing single-stroke line, as if someone sketched it in one continuous pen motion, with a decorative knotted curl at the base. Theres a small separate heart shape off to one side. Its single black thread all the way through, no colour changes, but it doesnt read flat because the satin lines use different directional angles per fur section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigitised through embroidery software with the fur sections holding distinct stitch angles for the forehead, cheek tufts, and chin area. At 116 trims across 4 sizes this is a stop-and-cut design, not a run-through. The smallest hoop (4.5 x 4.27 in, around 17,000 stitches) is still a substantive piece. The largest at 7.5 x 7.1 in hits 30,000 stitches. Pair firm cutaway any fabric with give, and pre-hoop your base material instead of floating it because the trim count means the design shifts alot during stitching. Density sits at 572, so the fur areas stay solid without going boardy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair this with a blush or dusty rose fabric for a pillow and the black thread reads moody but still warm. Stitch it on cream linen and that combination takes on a botanical illustration feel that cat people genuinely respond to. Use a topping on velvet or chenille if you dont want the satin stitching sinking into the loops. Avoid polyester blends that pill easily because the high trim count catches on loose fibres between stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast spring a customer ordered this for a memorial hoop for her kitten who had passed away. She Text me after saying she was suprised how personal it felt for a design she never customised. Happens more than I thought it would.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46268121383062,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CatinHeartEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772352943","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/cat-heart","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
