I have been loving stitching fox themed projects recently and so I needed a new needle minder to match. I couldn’t decided on which fox I loved the most – so you get to choose from four different designs. Two sleeping foxes and two wide awake foxes, hand drawn in my own unique style.

Cut from ply wood, the fox needle minders svg files. They turned out light weight and durable making them perfect for needle minders.

You can finish them in all sorts of ways as well.

Here are four different types of finishes you could choose.

Go completely natural and just clean up any scorch marks. (Top tip – if you want to avoid the clean up, mask your wood before hand and peel off after to reveal clean wood)

Oil it with Danish oil, but make sure it’s completely absorbed into the wood before using it on your next embroidery project. There is nothing worse than having to get oil out of fabrics.

Colour it in with chalk markers. My favourite make are posca pens but you can find cheaper versions on amazon.

Hand paint it with acrylic paints – probably my favourite finish, but you do need a steady hand.

Read more on what are SVG files?

SVG’s are a graphics file. It stands for scalable vector graphics which means they can be easily resized and don’t lose their quality in the process.

You can also find lots of other SVG files in my file library.

Can I use the free SVG’s on my laser cutter?

All my SVG’s can be used with laser cutters such as Glowforge, xTool and Mr Beam. As well as cutting machines like the Cricut and silhouette. They can also be used for digital scrapbooking and printing.

Can photoshop open svg files?

Yes, photoshop now supports svg files. You can choose to rasterise the image to your size requirements or embed as a smart object. Perfect for engraving.

Why do laser cutters use svg files?

SVG files are not the only format used with laser cutters. They can also handle jpeg, png and GIF files. Vectors are what you will need for cutting and raster files with work fine for engraving. The beauty of SVG’s is that that can be scaled without any loss of quality. Just make sure before your upload any svg’s that they have been unzipped if they are in zipped folders.

What else could I use free Craft Cartwright svg files for?

Scale them up or down and you could create all sorts of projects for example.
