Fabric & Hooping
At about 25.8 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 164.3 × 79.3 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.
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:
- 3777 Very Dark Terra Cotta
- 820 Very Dark Royal Blue
- 561 Very Dark Jade
- 743 Medium Yellow
- 899 Medium Rose
- 415 Pearl Gray
- 3607 Light Plum
- 798 Dark Delft Blue
- 909 Very Dark Emerald
Stitching Notes
9 colors across 9 changes makes this a real thread-management job: lay the spools out in sequence order first and keep the color chart to hand. 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
A border repeats well along table runners, pillowcase edges, curtain hems and quilt sashing. Stitch one repeat on scrap and measure it, then work out how many repeats your piece needs before you hoop the real fabric.
