Sweet Paw Print Heart Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A big loosely brushed red heart outline, and inside it sit two overlapping black paw prints at different scales, the larger one in the upper left and a slightly smaller one below and to the right. The red line isnt a perfect geometric curve, it looks like someone drew it quickly with a thick brush, the stroke thickens and thins around the perimeter which gives it energy. Around the paws, scattered through the open space inside the frame, there are small solid red hearts at various sizes and a handful of round black dots. Three colours total, nothing complicated.

The paw prints themselves are properly detailed. Each one has a main central pad as a large oval and four smaller toe pads arranged above it. The pads use a satin stitch fill so they come out smooth and raised. They read clearly even at the smallest size. Black against white or cream fabric with the red frame around them is a strong contrast combination that works on almost any light-coloured ground.

Sizes go from 3.3 wide by 3.51 tall up to 7.07 by 7.51. So the smallest sits cleanly on a shirt pocket and the largest fills a tote front or a cushion. Stitch count is 9k to 20k, density at 387 per square inch so its on the lighter side. Use a medium cutaway for stretch items and a medium tearaway behind woven cotton or canvas. Skip anything with a deep pile, the fine scattered dots disappear into fluffy fleece at small sizes.

Three colours, no speciality threads, a pretty quick stitch-out. My friend has 3 dogs, and this has been on her kitchen apron since last christmas, she says it goes with everything. Customers keep asking about this one a fair bit from people making pet memorial gifts. Email me the order number if the red outline isnt sitting closed at the top join and Ill realign the colour stops.
