As you continue to layer your stitching to build color gradations and realistic textures, the embroidery will get thicker. This thread overlap naturally creates a 3-D effect, which is something you can use to your advantage. If you want some areas to stand out, use stitch layering to create that effect, working over some areas by embossing stitches on top of other stitches.
If your cat has smooth, even fur, then you need to be careful not to create an unwanted 3-D effect by overembossing any areas.
STARTING AND FINISHING
Before you start on the projects, there are a few more things you need to know, including what to do before you start stitching, how to keep your work neat and tidy, and how to look after it once your creation is complete.
PLANNING AND POSITIONING
I began embroidering cats to adorn the shirts I made for my son, so the tailoring came before the embroidery. It is very difficult to embroider on to store-bought clothing, so the only solution is to make your own. Tailoring your own shirts means you can choose where you want your cat to be, and you can adapt your designs for your chosen embroidery—for example, you might wrinkle the edge of a pocket to make it look like your cat is climbing out.
Cut out all the pattern elements as you usually would, then decide where to position your cat.
