Fabric & Hooping
At about 30.7 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 121.3 × 121.2 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:
- 310 Black
- 645 Very Dark Beaver Gray
- 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz
- 550 Very Dark Violet
- 931 Medium Antique Blue
- 996 Medium Electric Blue
- 3013 Light Khaki Green
Stitching Notes
7 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.
