Spooky Black Cat Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Classic halloween arched cat, the kind you used to cut out of construction paper as a kid. This version is stitched though, so it actually looks like fur. The satin strokes radiate outward from the spine in long directional runs, giving the whole body that bristled-up, about-to-hiss texture. The tail curves up and over, the legs are rigid and stiff, and the head turns just slightly with pointed ears and a low expression. A small grey shadow sits under the paws to anchor it to the ground.

Two colours, black and grey. punched through professional embroidery software. The satin runs on the main body are directional so the fur texture reads properly: they go dense at the spine ridge and fan outward, which is different from a flat fill. Stitch count is 9,731 at the smallest 2.75-inch-tall size and 27,927 at the full 5.88-inch tall. The density of 632 isnt extreme but its enough that you need a medium cutaway on anything stretchy. Standard tearaway is fine on woven cotton or canvas.

Works great in two ways: on orange fabric for that classic halloween colour combo, or on black with a ghost-white thread swap if you want to flip the colourway. One customer suprised herself by stitching it onto a black cotton tote with white thread instead and said it looked even better than the original. So its worth testing if you have a project that calls for it.

Best time of year to sell these things is obviously October, but honestly cat people buy this year round. Ive had orders in March and June. Not just halloween anymore. Just a dark moody cat vibe that works on a witchy aesthetic any month.

Use a topping on terry cloth or fleece. The fur satin will sink into looped surfaces without it. On quilting cotton youre fine without.
