{"product_id":"kitten-butterfly","title":"Cute Kitten with Butterfly Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a fluffy little kitten sitting up with one paw stretched out toward a butterfly thats dangling just above on a curling thread. The kitten is mostly charcoal grey and mid grey, fur sitting in these long overlapping directional strokes that give the coat actual texture. White chest comes through underneath the chin. Big round dark eyes, the kind that take up alot of face. Very classic vintage kitten illustration energy, like something off an old greeting card but stitched out proper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe butterfly up top is done in black with white open spots on the wings, kinda like a monarch but not totally accurate, which I think looks better honestly. The curling thread between the paw and the butterfly is a single fine line that connects the two halves of the design. That detail alone took me abit to get right in Wilcom. And theres something about the way the kitten looks up at it that reads as genuinely sweet without being over the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages from cat cafe owners about this one quite a bit, they use it on cream cotton aprons for the staff and the customers notice every time. Also get orders from mums who are stitching nursery wall hoops with animal themes. Last december one customer ordered a batch of 12 on linen tote bags as christmas gifts for her whole book club, every single one of them had cats. The 5.5-inch version fits a standard 6-inch round hoop cleanly. Five sizes in total from 3.5 inch right up to 7 inch, so youve got flexibility across projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on cream linen or soft white cotton for the cleanest result. The charcoal grey pops on warm neutral fabric better than it does on stark white. Avoid dark backgrounds, the detail in the fur just disappears. Pair the smallest 3.5-inch on a baby onesie pocket or bib, the larger 7-inch version across a canvas tote or cushion front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDensity is high at 66k stitches on the biggest size, the fur fill is genuinely dense. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser underneath and drop your machine speed on the directional underlay sections. Bobbin tension matters here too, the contrast between grey fill and black outline only reads sharp when tension is even. Holler if the file gives you any grief and ill take a look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46296671027350,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteKittenwithButterflyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1773723647","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/kitten-butterfly","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
