This cat does not look happy about being on a skateboard and thats exactly whats funny about it. Its a fat, round-bodied cat with squinted angry eyes, sitting bolt upright on an orange deck like someone dragged it there against its will. One front paw is raised, the tail curls back up, and the face has that classic grumpy-cat scowl with the little downturned mouth and slightly crossed eyes.
15 colours and 14 colour changes go into this thing, which is alot for a cartoon-style design but it shows in the result. my main digitising tool laid the cat body in layered tan over cream with a lighter belly patch, and theres actual shading on the face rather than a flat fill. The skateboard is a bright warm orange, the wheels are almost neon green, and the outline weight stays consistent all the way round so it looks like a proper comic-book panel when its done. Stitch count runs 20,941 on starting at 3 in up to 58,073 on the full 7.5 inch. Im not gonna pretend thats fast, its a long stitch on the big size.
Back with mid-weight cutaway on anything stretchy. On a hoodie or tee, hoop the garment tight and dont skip the underlay pass, the cartoon body needs that base to sit flat. Tear-away on a tote or cotton canvas works fine. Nine sizes from 3.5 in to 7.5 in. A customer messaged me last month to say she stitched the 5-inch file for a black hoodie for her teenage daughter and it became the kids favourite item. I believe it. Send me a chat note line if the file throws any errors and Ill update it for you quick.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
