Stylish Black Cat Embroidery Design, Sketch Cat Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

This one is all about the linework. The cat sits upright, slightly hunched forward, staring ahead with those round burnt-orange eyes that pop against the grey and white body. The whole thing has a scratchy ink-sketch quality, where the pencil lines are still readable underneath the shading fill. Its not a cute fluffy cat, its more like a moody cat portrait done in a Japanese-ink-brush style.

Body colour is mostly mid-grey deepening toward near-black at the edges, with sandy-gold sweeping shapes making up the tall tail curl and the wispy grass tufts underfoot. Five thread colours total, so the palette is deliberately tight: sand, two shades of grey-slate, orange and white. The digitising keeps those lines crisp and thin which is honestly the hardest part to get right on a sketch style at small sizes. My customers are mostly cat lovers doing gifts and tote bags but this one gets ordered for halloween items too, specially around October when people want something a bit edgy without being full-on spooky.

Nine sizes from 3.51 inches up to 7.51 inches wide. Stitch counts go from about 10,438 smallest 3.51 inch through 26,145 at the largest. Dont use a heavy topping on this one or you'll lose the thin sketch lines. Lay tearaway behind woven fabrics, the low density sits nicely without pulling. Pop it on a cap, a linen tote, or a denim shirt pocket. At the 3.5-in size for hoop a small piece of canvas and it stitches out fast. Any file issues just message me, ill fix it.
