Fabric & Hooping
At about 144.8 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 26.8 × 20.0 mm it drops into the smallest hoop you own and suits multi-position frames for repeat placement.

Stitching Notes
With 3 colors and 2 changes you can pre-wind the whole set before you start and never leave the machine. Being a PES file, the thread assignments come embedded, so most machines will display the color list for you.
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.
