Christmas Cat and Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The tree is fully decorated and the cat is in it. Thats about the whole story. On the left side a sleek black cat sits upright wearing a lopsided red santa hat and a red-and-white striped scarf, completely wrapped in a tangled white lights cord with colourful bulbs hanging off every loop. On the right the christmas tree stands bright green with a yellow satin star at the top, ornament balls in yellow, turquoise, pink and orange scattered across the branches. The white cord connects em both like the cat personally relocated the decorations.

Eight colours total, 11 stops, its a proper scene not just a single subject. The tree body uses dense tatami fill to get that layered pine branch texture. The cat is a clean satin-filled black silhouette so it reads as a strong shape even at smaller sizes. Light cord is satin column stitching in white, the bulbs are oval satin fills in four different colours. my usual software kept the underlay solid on the green fill so theres no bleed-through on lighter base fabrics.

People use this one differently to a plain cat design, its the tree that makes it a full scene. A customer send me message last november asking if the design works on a navy pillow cover and I said yes, she came back saying it looked like an actual holiday card. The full scene reads really well framed in hoop art aswell, dont overlook that option.

Pop it on navy, dark grey, cream or white. Dark fabrics make the green tree glow and the yellow star sing, pale fabrics let the black cat silhouette lead. Avoid mid-tone fabrics like olive or khaki where neither element pops clearly. Use cutaway stabiliser on anything stretchy, tearaway is fine on a stable cotton canvas or twill.

Largest 7.26-inch size has 44k stitches so hoop it tight and run at medium speed on the dense green fill sections. The light cord satin columns can pucker on loose hooping so press your stabiliser flat before you load it into the machine, dont rush that bit.
