Stacked Christmas Cats Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Message me if you need this in a bigger size because I get asked that alot. Three cats, stacked on top of each other like a lil totem pole, each one with its own christmas accessory. The top cat has full reindeer antlers and a red santa hat with a holly sprig, the middle one is wrapped in multicolour fairy lights that trail down, and the bottom cat is just sitting there with a red striped bow looking a bit over it all. Each face has big cartoony eyes and chubby soft fur rendering, done with proper directional stitching so the grey and white fur patches read as actual fur rather than flat fills.

Ten colours total, 10 thread swaps, and the largest size pushes just over 32,000 stitches. The stitch density sits around 1,162 which is solid, so use cutaway stabiliser on anything knit or stretchy. On woven cotton or denim youll get away with heavy tearaway. The fairy lights section has some detail thread work and the antlers use brown satin column stitching, both areas need good stabilising or they shift. I digitised this in my professional tool and the file runs clean across all eight formats.

Stitch on a red or green christmas sweatshirt and it looks brilliant. White cotton is more subtle but lets the grey cats read clearly. I'd actually skip black on this one because the grey fur tones get a bit lost. Works great on 5-inch or 7-inch hoop size for tshirts and kids tops, the tall narrow shape is convenient for placement.

Last christmas a customer ordered this for a set of cat-themed stockings, she had 3 cats and wanted one stocking each. She stitched em on red velvet and texted me the photo, honestly it was one of the best things Ive seen done with my designs. Pop this on fleece stockings with a water-soluble topping to keep the satin detail crisp.
