Fabric & Hooping
At about 305.7 stitches/cm² this is a very heavy fill, near the limit of what a domestic machine handles comfortably. Use two layers of firm cut-away, drop to roughly 400 spm, and expect a stiff finished patch — keep it off garments that need to drape. At 70.0 × 69.3 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:
- 820 Very Dark Royal Blue
- 3777 Very Dark Terra Cotta
- 317 Pewter Gray
- 776 Medium Pink
- 444 Dark Lemon
Stitching Notes
With 5 colors and 4 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
Motifs like this scatter well — single placements on pockets and yokes, or repeated across a quilt block, a set of napkins or a child's blanket. It reads the same at any orientation, so placement is forgiving.
