{"product_id":"christmas-cat-trio","title":"Christmas Cat Trio Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree plump tabby cats lined up shoulder to shoulder, all wearing oversized red and white striped Santa hats with fluffy white pompoms drooping down. The cat on the right has candy-cane red patches across its body plus a lil green bow tie, the middle and left cats have soft grey patches across white fur. Pink cheeks and pink whisker-dot noses all round. Total of 6 colours, white at 9,569 stitches doing most of the body fill, red doing the hats and patches, grey for the markings, plus pink for the cheek details and a touch of green for that bow tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI digitised em in my embroidery software using a layered fill approach where the white runs first and seals the fabric weave, then the grey and red overlay cleanly without underlap shadows. Density runs at 1,068 on the small 2.5-inch hoop which is dense for that size cos of the high detail count, so use a firm cutaway underneath always. Five hoop sizes go from 2.5-inch up to 5.34-inch wide with stitch counts ranging from 17,884 to 42,756. 152 trims on the medium size so the bobbin'll work hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople keep ordering this one for kids christmas pyjamas, a customer told me she stitched the 4-in piece on a red flannel pyjama top for her two daughters and they wore em on christmas eve last december. Heres the bit to watch though, the cats faces are kinda detailed with the whisker dots and eye lines so on the smallest 2.5-inch hoop the dots can blur on knit. Use the 3 in run or larger if you want crisp facial features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on cream, white, or soft grey fabric where the colour really pops and theres maximum contrast. Skip dark navy or charcoal cos the white fur fills get muddy under warm light. Use poly thread for the white fill aswell, rayon yellows faster on fabric that gets a lot of wear. Hoop with topping on fleece or knit. Reach out if your machine reads the white stop weird with 9-thousand stitches on a single colour, ill resequence the file so it splits into shorter runs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46261222015126,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasCatTrioEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771824490","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-cat-trio","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
