Floral Cat on Books Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This one is all line art. A chubby lil cat with a dark face patch sits on a single book, and around it theres a loose arrangement of daisy stems, wildflowers and grasses stitched in fine outline columns. Single colour, no fills except a partial white on the little face area. The whole design stays light and sketch-like, which is kinda the point. The 5 inch version is about 9,000 stitches and stitches out in under 12 minutes on most home machines.

Because the density is only 216 this is a forgiving design to run. A standard tearaway stabiliser works on most wovens and denim. Ive stitched this version on cotton and linen and both come out with that nice hand-drawn illustration look without any puckering. The underlay on the white section keeps the fill from going see-through against darker fabrics. You dont need topping on most smooth surfaces but add a lil water-soluble sheet if youre hooping something with any texture. And its got a nice feature where the thin line stems look different depending on which thread colour you pick, black gives a sketch vibe, dark navy gives it a botanical print feel, and forest green makes it look like a garden illustration.

Honestly customers who buy the silhouette version often come back for this one aswell because the style is so different. One customer ordered this last month for a set of fabric book covers and said the line work looked like it was drawn directly onto the linen. Pair on cream, natural linen, white or pale sage for the cleanest line-art look. Works well on tote bags, pouches, pillow covers and linen book wraps in any of the 5 sizes. Skip busy patterned fabric, the fine lines get lost against prints.
