{"product_id":"mermaid-cat-2","title":"Cute Mermaid Cat Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHalf cat, half mermaid, and completely ridiculous in the best way. The kitten sits upright on a sandy ocean floor, front paws raised like its just noticed something interesting, big lash-fringed eyes wide open, little pink nose, pink cheek blushes. Below the waist its all mermaid, a deep blue tail with satin scale texture curling out behind it. Orange sea plants and leafy dark green seaweed frame the sides, and above the cats head theres a cluster of blue bubble circles, one of them a big hollow ring rendered with dense satin fill so it reads like a soap bubble catching light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 colours in this one. Really 15. Dark green, two shades of blue, brown, orange, pink, white, black and more. Wilcom ran through 15 colour changes cleanly, the stitching on the fur uses short directional satin columns so the coat reads like actual cat fur rather than a flat block of colour. Small gold fish detail in the lower foreground adds another layer of story to it. Stitch count on the 7.5 top size is 47,103.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople have been buying this for girls bedroom cushions and fantasy fan tote bags more than I expected. Reach me if you want a second colourway, Ive had requests for a pink tail version and Im honestly thinking about it. My daughter spotted it last week and asked why we dont have it on a pillow yet so thats next on my list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun on white linen cotton or canvas for maximum colour pop. The sand base and dark green plants need a pale ground to separate cleanly. A 5 or 6-inch size on a tote bag or pillow front is the sweet spot, the smaller sizes drop some of the fine scale detail in the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDense design needs a firm cutaway stabiliser, especially on the tail section where the satin density runs high. Use topping on terry or fleece if youre hooping anything textured. Send me message if the thread sequence looks scrambled in your software and Ill walk you through the colour order. A customer asked about a pink tail variant recently and honestly Im thinking about it, the request came in three times last month.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381911310486,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteMermaidCatEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1778559517","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/mermaid-cat-2","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
