Fabric & Hooping
At about 166.7 stitches/cm² this is a dense fill that pulls hard on the fabric. Back it with firm cut-away, add a water-soluble topping on towelling or fleece, and pick a stable woven over anything stretchy. At 28.8 × 30.3 mm it drops into the smallest hoop you own and suits multi-position frames for repeat placement.
Thread Colors in This Design
The file carries 3 thread colors — these are the DMC references programmed into it:
- 18 Cream Brown

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.
