{"product_id":"cat-peeking","title":"Cute Cat Peeking Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSketched this one from a classic \"cat breaking through\" concept but the execution had to feel real, not cartoony. Its a ginger tabby, the kind with proper dark rust tiger stripes, pushing up through what looks like torn paper or ripped canvas. The left paw is stretched forward like the cat's mid-escape, claws relaxed. Head tilted at a slight angle, bright teal eyes looking straight out. Pink button nose, short pink-tipped whiskers fanning sideways. Nine colour stops to build all of that so the fur gradients from warm orange at the base to a lighter ginger at the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach fur stripe is a short directional satin fill running in the natural growth direction of cat fur, so the texture reads right at a glance. Behind the cat theres a grey crosshatch tatami that suggests ripped material without going too literal. Teal iris uses a curved satin fill with a small white highlight dot that honestly makes the eyes pop way more than you'd expect at this scale. Nine colours total, 9 to 33 thousand stitches depending on which of the 9 sizes you pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRight, so this one sells itself to cat owners, obvs. A customer who makes personalised pet gifts ran this on white cotton canvas tote bags last winter, three of them in different colourways for ginger, grey and black cat versions of the same design. She said the ginger one sold out in two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest on smooth to medium weave fabric. Try a firm cutaway stabiliser for stretch knit items like pet bandanas or sweatshirts. Its too detailed for tearaway on anything that moves around. Avoid fluffy fleece for this one, the fine whisker lines and the teal eye highlights need a flat surface to land cleanly. Run a slow first pass on the torn-edge grey section since the crosshatch changes direction twice and youll notice it pulling if the tension isnt snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from 2.72 by 3.5 inches on the small end up to 5.83 by 7.5 at the largest. Smallest sits nicely on a pocket or collar. Biggest is proper portrait scale for a cushion front or tote panel. Youre looking at maybe 2 hours on a home machine for the largest size, worth it. Use a medium needle and 40wt on the smaller sizes to keep the whisker paths tight. Drop me the details if a whisker run snags or loops and Ill resend a corrected file.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46351168798870,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteCatPeekingEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1776587478","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/cat-peeking","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
