Fabric & Hooping
At about 275.6 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 63.6 × 41.4 mm a 4×4 in hoop is plenty.
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:
- 899 Medium Rose
- 415 Pearl Gray
- 3607 Light Plum
- 798 Dark Delft Blue
- 909 Very Dark Emerald
- 741 Medium Tangerine
- 3705 Dark Melon
- 645 Very Dark Beaver Gray
- 550 Very Dark Violet
Stitching Notes
9 colors across 8 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.
