Funny Cow Face Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Brown and white cow facing dead-on with her mouth wide open mid-laugh, tongue out, eyes squinting just abit. Heres what makes it work, the directional stitching across the forehead runs in opposite directions to the cheek fur, so the whole face has movement instead of looking pasted on. Two cream horns curl outward, a fuzzy rust forelock sits between em, the pink nose has satin fill with deep burgundy nostrils. Tongue glows bright pink with a soft burgundy shadow underneath, gives it that wet glossy look.

13 colours total. The brown patches use three shades of chestnut, the white patches use cream and ivory together, and the muzzle has its own pink-burgundy gradient. I been tweaking this funny cow face since last summer when a customer asked for one for her dairy farm shop tees. She came back two weeks later and ordered the 7.5 inch size for hoodies. Now Im seeing it on tea towels, beer koozies, country store totes, the lot.

Stitch counts run 19,977 to 53,648 across 9 sizes from 3.45 to 7.4 inches wide. Density sits at 967 which puts it in the medium range so cutaway stabiliser is a must, dont try this on tearaway alone its gonna shift on you. Best fabric is sturdy cotton or canvas, denim back yokes also work great. Skip jersey unless yer running a heavy mesh stab on the back. Dark fabrics like navy and charcoal make the cream and white pop. Light fabrics like oatmeal and tan make the rust forelock sing.

Use a sharp 80/12 needle and a fresh bobbin. Run the machine at medium speed, fast running makes the dense forehead fur shift on you. Pop a topping film on if youre stitching on minky or fleece, the long fur stitches need help staying flat. Suprised how often folks skip this step, then write me asking why the cow looks fuzzy in a bad way. Topping is yer friend, occured to me last month half my support emails are this same fix.
