Cute Splashing Cat Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Splashing cat, 9 colours, and one of the taller designs in the collection, the proportions go from 1.69 to 3.62 inches wide but spans from 3.5 inches up to 7.5 tall, so its a portrait-orientation build. The cat is mid-step into shallow water, paws just hitting the surface, water droplets radiating outward in spray lines. Tabby orange body, cream white chest, pale blue water at the base, sky blue splash lines flying up. Stitch count runs 11,369 on the smallest up to 25,771 at the biggest size 7.5 height.

Density is 949, which is firm enough that the orange tabby fills have real depth on lighter fabrics. I tried the 5-inch run on a white cotton tea towel last spring and a customer who bought it said it was the first embroidery design that made her actually laugh when she opened the file. Pop a tearaway behind woven fabrics like cotton twill or linen. For stretchy cat-themed t-shirts or jersey, swap to cutaway and hoop with extra margin so the tall portrait doesnt distort at the edges.

Mapped in the software I use, the water splash lines are done in short satin runs that keep the radiating direction consistent from the base up. Hoop snug, a tall design on jersey will drift at the top if the backer isnt pulled flat. Add topping on terry or fleece. Best on white, pale yellow, or light grey backgrounds; the tabby orange reads great on most light colours but not on anything warm-toned. Stitch on cat-themed kitchen items, kids shirts, pet lover totes, or any project going to a feline fan.
