Linen is where this one lives. A natural-coloured linen tote or a cream cotton drill bag, and the fox just sinks into it like it belongs there. The design is a fox curled into a tall S-shape, body packed with big open poppy-style blooms and layered leaf sprays growing out from the tail. Its head peers over the top flowers with pointed ears and a lil dotted muzzle, and the whole thing reads like a botanical illustration crossed with a folk woodcut. Really dense linework inside the petals and directional feather fills across the fox body, so stitching this out on the right fabric makes every detail pop on its own.

So I ran this at around 23,000 stitches at the 7 inch and the satin edges on the fox outline came out clean and sharp. Cutaway stabiliser is non-negotiable here, the density is 604 and the underlay carries a lot of the inner fill work. Dont try it on jersey without topping, the fine petal lines will sink. Canvas, denim, linen, twill, woven cotton drill, those all hoop beautifully and let the tatami fill show its texture. A maker I know ordered this last week specifically for linen market bags and she hooped it centred on the bag front at the 6 inch, said it came out better than she expected. Add a stabiliser layer at the back and trim close once its done.

Stitch it in a warm charcoal thread on cream linen for that woodcut-print look, or try a rust orange on natural canvas if ya want something warmer. Use the 5 inch on a cushion cover with the fox sitting just off-centre toward the top, and it fits nicely without crowding the seam. Pick a bobbin colour that matches your background fabric so any jump stitch tails on the back stay invisible. Iron the hoop area before you load it, any wrinkles in linen will ghost into the final piece and thats realy hard to fix after.

Shoot me a message and I can lighten the underlay for knits.
