This rabbit design stitches out at 32.1 × 41.7 mm (1.3 × 1.6 in) and uses 6 thread colors across 5 color changes. Total count is 1,800 stitches at a density of about 134.5 stitches/cm².

At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~3 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 5, automatic trims: 7
• Follow the color sequence table above — thread numbers refer to the chart programmed in the file; match them to your brand by color.

Fabric & Hooping

At about 134.5 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 32.1 × 41.7 mm a 4×4 in hoop is plenty.

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.
