Fabric & Hooping
At about 38.6 stitches/cm² this is an open, low-density fill, so it sits happily on quilting cotton, linen or lightweight shirting with a single layer of tear-away behind it. At 291.7 × 91.4 mm this needs a large-format hoop, or splitting across several hoopings with alignment marks — check it against your machine's maximum field first.
Thread Colors in This Design
DST files store stitch data but no thread information, so the colors below are our suggested DMC match. Swap in whatever you have in a similar shade:
- 743 Medium Yellow
- 317 Pewter Gray
- 931 Medium Antique Blue
- 472 Ultra Light Avocado
Stitching Notes
With 4 colors and 3 changes you can pre-wind the whole set before you start and never leave the machine. DST stores stitch data only, which is why the color list is a suggestion rather than the digitizer's original choice.
What to Make With It
Motifs like this scatter well — single placements on pockets and yokes, or repeated across a quilt block, a set of napkins or a child's blanket. It reads the same at any orientation, so placement is forgiving.
