USA Cats Patriotic Embroidery Design, 4th of July Cat Machine Embroidery, Instant Download

Pulled this one together for all the cat people who want something a lil more fun than a standard flag design for the fourth. Its three tabbies arranged around the letters U, S, A with each cat wearing its own party hat, and honestly it kinda just makes people smile when they see it, which is the whole point.

The design runs really wide compared to its height, so its built for horizontal placement on sleeves, pocket areas, or across the chest of a kid shirt. At the 7-inch wide size youre looking at 13,789 stitches across 7 colour threads: White, Blue, Red, Grey, Pink, Aqua, and Black in that sequence. The smaller sizes scale proportionally down to 7,612 at the 4-inch wide version. Because the proportions are landscape you need a hoop thats wider than it is tall, a standard 5x7 frame works fine for the mid sizes.

Seven colours sounds like alot but the sequence is only 6 stops total. Use tearaway on most wovens, the density is a moderate 670 per square inch so it releases cleanly. Use cutaway on stretch knit so the letters dont distort between the star shapes. Lay tearaway topping on minky and the whisker outlines stay sharp. Stitch at 5 inches on a kids tee front and it fills the chest without crowding the collar.

One customer wanted this digitising across the front of a kids denim jacket last fourth of july and she messaged me to say it stitched out clean on the first hoop, no re-runs needed. And I get a bunch of orders every May and early June from people doing July themed cat lover gift sets, which makes sense timing-wise. Reach out if you run into any issues with your download.
