Floral Cat Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a cat face, profile view facing left, and theres something a bit serious about the expression. Big almond-shaped eye, pointed ear, the fur on the cheek and around the jaw done in layered directional stitching that goes from fine at the face to slightly heavier around the neck. Below that theres a full open rose, petals splaying out, with smaller berries and leaves clustered at the base. The whole thing sits vertically so it fits naturally on a chest pocket or tote front without any awkward cropping.

Five sizes from just under 3 inches up to 6.97 inches. The stitching is densest on the cats face where the fur detail is packed in, and the rose sits lighter underneath with satin column petals that have just enough density to read clearly without competing with the face. At 9,993 stitches on the smallest size its an easy one to run on a pocket or patch. The 6.97-inch comes in at 25k which is still manageable on most home machines, no colour stops, just one continuous thread run from ear to leaf tip.

Dm me if you want to know the best starting point in the stitch order for your specific hoop. This is one of those designs that benefits from a slow start through the face section where the directional fur changes angle a couple of times. Wilcom digitised the fur transitions cleanly but if youre on a home machine with a slower recovery you might want to ease the speed for the first 5k stitches.

I sell alot of this one to people who make custom gifts for cat owners. A friend of mine who runs a small craft market stall started stocking canvas pouches with the medium size last october and says its one of her top sellers. Pop it on cream linen, black denim, charcoal cotton or a navy canvas tote. Skip busy prints because the detail in the face needs a clean ground to breathe. Use cutaway stabiliser on jersey and tearaway on wovens. Dm me if anything about the file gives you grief and ill get it sorted quickly.
