So this baby meerkat is one of the softer wildlife pieces in the catalog, sitting upright on his hind legs with his lil paws crossed neat across his chest. Big black shiny eyes ringed by that dark chocolate eye mask, sandy tan fur fading into a cream belly, long curving tail trailing behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTook me a fair bit of digitising to get the fur right. Fine directional stitching runs in feathered passes across the body, denser on the back and shoulders, opening up softer through the cream belly. The eye mask uses a tight satin fill so it reads sharp against the lighter face. 12 colours total which sounds like alot but most are tonal browns and tans that blend naturally on the meerkats wildlife coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI drew this for a nursery commission last spring, my friend was decorating her sisters baby room and wanted something a bit different than the usual elephants and giraffes. Theres been customers buying it for nursery wall hoops, baby shower gifts, soft cotton bibs and crib quilts. One customer ordered six for a wildlife themed shower last month, said theyd never seen a meerkat baby design before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on cream cotton, oatmeal linen, soft muslin or fleece for the gentlest nursery look. Skip stiff fabric at the smaller sizes, the face details want a soft drape to feel right. Use a cutaway stabiliser for any stretch knit, tearaway for flat woven. Slow your machine through the dense back fur passes if youre running a domestic, the tonal colour swaps need a clean trim between em.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 sizes from 2.73 inches up to 5.85 inches wide, around 40k stitches at the largest. All 8 formats included. Dropped on a soft pastel background this lil meerkat just glows. Honestly its one of those designs that doesnt try too hard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45746052890774,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteMeerkatMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1760763324","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/meerkat-embroidery","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
