About this design
Sitting Black Cat shows a small dark-coated cat seated at a three-quarter angle, its long tail curving behind it. Large beige eyes, a salmon-pink muzzle, pink inner ears and finely drawn whiskers give it a curious look. The style is cartoon illustration, with clean black outlines and simple flat colour areas in four shades.
At 67 × 68 mm, it suits a zip pouch, an autumn tote bag or the front of a child's sweatshirt. On knits, use a cut-away stabiliser so the filled areas stay smooth and even. A light background, natural or soft orange, shows this machine embroidery off nicely.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 4 threads: dark grey, beige, salmon, black. The names give the closest shade; pick the one you like in your thread brand.
- Hoop the fabric in a 10 × 10 cm hoop with a stabiliser: tear-away for woven fabric (cotton, linen, canvas), cut-away for stretchy fabric (T-shirt, sweatshirt, bodysuit).
- Stitch the colours in this order: dark grey → beige → salmon → black → dark grey. The machine stops at each thread change (4 changes, 21 trims).
- Allow about 16 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 9,035 stitches in all.
- For another size, open the design in the studio rather than enlarging it on the machine: the stitches are recalculated and the density stays right.
