Double Paw Heart Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two paw prints on white or cream fabric, rotated to face inward and arranged so they form a heart shape together. Each paw has its central pad and 4 toe beans, and when both sit side by side at the right angle the negative space reads instantly as a heart. Its a 2-colour build at a light density of 262, so this isnt a heavy stitch-out at all, ranging from 4,393 stitches at the 3.51-inch size up to 13,939 at the full 7.51-inch width.

professional digitising software drove this with soft density fill on the paw pads so the fabric doesnt stiffen up. The underlay is minimal here, designed for medium-weight woven fabrics like cotton poplin, denim, or canvas. Pop a tearaway behind structured wovens, or a lightweight cutaway for anything with stretch. Hoop the fabric square and flat, especially at the smaller sizes where the toe bean satin sections need clean placement to hold their round shape.

A customer texted me a photo last year of this stitched on a toddler hoodie in dusty rose and it honestly made my day. She did the 3.5-inch run on a cream fleece zip-up and the 2 colours looked so sharp together. Thats exactly the kind of small gift project this is suited for. Text me through the contact form if youre not sure which size works for your project and Ill point you in the right direction.

Pop this on children's clothing, pet accessories, keepsake pouches, or personalised Christmas stockings. Run a test stitch on a cotton scrap first if youre matching colours for a batch project, the 2-colour changeover point is clean but you want your thread pairing locked in before committing to a run of items.
