Fabric & Hooping
At about 93.3 stitches/cm² the fill is moderate: one layer of medium-weight cut-away handles most wovens, while knits want a second layer or a fusible backing. At 88.0 × 122.3 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.
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:
- 444 Dark Lemon
- 415 Pearl Gray
- 996 Medium Electric Blue
- 900 Dark Burnt Orange
- 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz
- 561 Very Dark Jade
- 3705 Dark Melon
- 208 Very Dark Lavender
Stitching Notes
8 colors across 7 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 picture-style design wants a flat, stable surface where it can be seen whole: a framed hoop piece, a quilt centre, a cushion front or the back of a jacket. Avoid stretchy garments, which distort the shape.
