Yes it is. You missed the first outline??
Classic first step in applique...
Yours seems to have been resized over the years. The original does not
fit in a 4x4 hoop and details in the eyes have been lost in yours.

Nope. Many digitisers are taking this "rustic" applique approach.
It creates a "soft edge" around the animal, giving the applique a life
like quality.
This design looks fabulous with a soft cord or non fraying fuzzy
fabric used underneath. Or, just sew it straight onto a soft blankie
for your favourite pug.

You would have this in your stash. It came from here.
Not even the name was changed to protect the innocent. /chortle

Half way there with discovering the digitiser you were. You have the
others of the collection in the same folder? Have they been resized
too?

Doh.....
Yes... dignity is everything.
Enjoy your new found applique.

Yes. Help comes from many a "trying" corner.
