Minimalist Cat Embroidery Design, Cat Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Side profile of a cat with its head tilted back, ears perked forward like something caught its attention just above the frame. The fill work is what makes this different from the usual cat silhouette. Rather than solid fill throughout, some sections open up into loose directional marks, almost like rough brush strokes, and the fabric peeks through those gaps on purpose. Gives it a hand-drawn quality you dont usually get from a two-color design.

Just 2 thread colors, teal and white. The white in most places is the background cotton itself showing through those open brush-mark sections, not a stitched white thread. Thats why the stitch counts stay manageable, 7,902 at the smallest size up to just under 20,000 at the full 7.5-inch height. Only 1 color change across the whole thing.

Five sizes ranging from 1.4 inches wide at the small end up to 3 inches wide at the largest. Very narrow and tall throughout. Pop this on a light cotton or linen so the teal reads well against the pale ground. Skip dark fabrics unless you swap the teal for white or a contrast color, the gaps in the fill wont show up otherwise. Stitch on a light tearaway stabiliser, the low stitch count means it doesnt need anything heavier. People have been using this one a lot for bookmarks and sleeve patches since I listed it earlier this year, one customer told me she stitched the whole set of 5 sizes on matching pouches as gifts. A tall cat. Simple but it works. If you need a different size or cant open the files just text me through the shop and Ill help.
