Dapper Dogs embroidery pattern (with optional Stick & Stitch Pack)
Each of these little pups has loads of personality and takes less than an hour to stitch up.
Most of them frame up well in a 3" wooden hoop, or you can stitch them on clothing, pillows, quilt labels, tote bags, and more. You can also resize the patterns to stitch on larger projects!
This pattern includes 13 dogs, plus a stick, bone, ball, and paw prints.
You have two purchase options. Choose your format in the drop-down menu.
A PDF pattern, delivered instantly and ready to print onto letter-size paper or Sulky Stick & Stitch. No shipping costs and no waiting! If you're not sure what a PDF pattern is, you'll find more info here.
A PDF pattern AND a set of these motifs already printed on Sulky Stick & Stitch. You'll get the PDF pattern instantly. The Stick & Stitch pack will arrive in the mail. (Sorry, this option is only available within the US.)
How the Stick & Stitch works...
Stick - the motif onto whatever you want to embroider
Stitch - right through the stabilizer and fabric
Soak - away the stabilizer
You're left with a beautifully stitched motif with no stray marks and no pattern transfer.
Easy peasy!
Your Stitch & Stick pack includes a postcard with suggested DMC color palettes on one side, and a link to detailed instructions (including video stitch tutorials) on the other side.
You get four 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" sheets of Sulky Stick & Stitch printed with a total of 17 motifs.
The digital PDF pattern includes the pattern in color, in black and white, and a reversed image in black and white, three suggested color palettes with DMC numbers, plus two pages of links to video tutorials for all my favorite stitches.
The digital pattern is great if you want to resize the motifs, or use the same motif more than once.

Size
The biggest dog (the fluffy poodle) is just over 3 1/2 inches tall. The smallest (the chunky head below the goofy guy holding THREE balls in his mouth at once) is 1 3/4 inches wide.
You can also enlarge or reduce them to any size you like. In the photos you can see my daughter in a T-shirt stitched with one of the dogs.
Difficulty
It depends on the stitches you choose! You can use the four beginner stitches I suggest and make it very easy, or you can use some of the more complex stitches in the tutorials and make it a skill stretcher. It's up to you!
