Fabric & Hooping
At about 39.5 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 137.7 × 268.2 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:
- 702 Kelly Green
- 820 Very Dark Royal Blue
- 434 Light Brown
- 3705 Dark Melon
- 444 Dark Lemon
- 807 Peacock Blue
Stitching Notes
With 6 colors and 5 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
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.
