Three colours at 896 density on cream or white cotton canvas, and the tuxedo markings are what make this one distinct from a generic cat design. Theres a solid black outer coat with a clean white chest bib running from chin to belly, the contrast between those two fill regions is sharp because I ran a split satin underlay on the boundary edge so the colours dont bleed into each other. Its a high-density build for the size, which sits between 2.23 and 4.78 inches wide, so this is more of a compact accent design than something you centre on a large canvas.
Stitch counts run from 9,876 at starting 3-in up to 32,170 at the full 4.78-inch width. professional embroidery software handled this file, the fur direction on the black coat runs at a slight diagonal to give the body some three-dimensional shape rather than a flat solid fill. Press a thick backer under the hoop for jersey or fleece, or use a tearaway on woven denim or cotton drill. Dont skimp on stabiliser here, the 896 density in the black sections will pull the fabric if its not held down well.
One customer who breeds british shorthairs told me last spring she stitched the 4-inch version onto 6 cotton zip pouches to give out at a cat show, using black thread on cream canvas so the white bib section stayed visible on the pale background. She said people kept asking where she found the design and that the cat face detail was surprisingly accurate for an embroidery. Thats the kind of feedback that tells you the whisker placement and eye shape are right.
Use on denim jackets, cotton canvas bags, cushion fronts, or cat show accessories. Any feline lover or pet owner will recognise those formal two-tone cat markings immediately. Best on white, cream, or pale grey backgrounds where both fills read clearly. Avoid dark fabric where the dark sections vanish. Run a test stitch on matching denim before committing to a jacket panel.

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.
