{"product_id":"two-cats-hugging","title":"Two Cute Cats Hugging Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo cute kittens sat close together leaning in for a snuggle, eyes squeezed shut in pure contentment. The bigger one on the left is a grey tabby with darker stripes running down his back and across the tail, soft pink in the inner ears, a tiny pink nose, and that pleased look you only see when a cat finds the perfect warm spot. The smaller one on the right is a calico, warm orange-tan patches over white belly and chest, same closed-eye smile, leaning her head against the tabby. Both tails curl around their seated bodies in soft hooked shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine colours, eight thread swaps every stitch run. Stitch count begins at 21,117 on the 3.5-inch height and climbs to 59,689 when scaled up to the 7.5-inch hoop. White is doing the heaviest lifting at 6,638 stitches in the smallest hoop, filling the calico belly and tabby chest. Grey shading for the stripes uses two grey tones layered. Brown for the calico patches. The black outline at 3,279 stitches keeps every line tight, especially the closed eye curves and whisker hints. professional embroidery software digitised so the fur direction looks like fur not flat fields, gotta have that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast winter a customer ran the 5.5-inch onto a baby blanket for her sister whose family just adopted two rescue kittens at the same time, kinda perfect timing. I love when a design lands at the right moment in someones life. Another buyer ordered a 3.5-inch piece for a sympathy card insert, hoop framed, when her friends elderly cat passed. The hugging composition reads as both joyful and tender depending on the context youre dropping it into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest base is white, cream or pale pink cloth, the grey tabby and orange calico both need a pale backdrop to show up. Avoid charcoal or navy, the calicos warm tones disappear and the tabby fur vanishes into the dark. Back the design with a soft cutaway because this kitten artwork has loads of fine line work that needs proper support to hold its shape. Hoop snug then run it slowly to keep the fur lines crisp. Its a slow stitch but it pays off if you dont rush it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836283183254,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/TwoCuteCatsHuggingMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1762929855","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/two-cats-hugging","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
