Embroidery Tutorial

This tutorial includes detailed instructions with step-by-step photos for the ear embroidery part. The sewing instructions to make the cat are provided in the DIY kit.

For absolute beginners, we recommend reading our “Embroidery Basics” tutorial first.

Ears Embroidery (Step 1b in the kit instruction)

The two top sides of the ears are finished with buttonhole/blanket stitch using double-strand thread.

• Starting from one corner, bring the needle out from the back of the fabric at point 1 where the first stitch starts.

• Bring the thread up and turn it to the left side to form a loop. Hold it with your thumb in place to secure the loop.

• Insert the needle into the fabric from point 2 (which will be the start of the second stitch) and out at point 3 (the end of the second stitch). Making sure the needle tip is above the loop.

• Pull the needle out to form the looped stitch.

Repeat until you reach the other corner of the ear.

To finish off, simply make a small straight stitch at the corner of the ear to anchor the last loop and bring the needle to the back of the fabric. Tie a knot and cut off the excess thread.
