Fabric & Hooping
At about 274.7 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 35.2 × 38.3 mm it drops into the smallest hoop you own and suits multi-position frames for repeat placement.
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:
- 958 Dark Sea Green
- 3746 Dark Blue Violet
- 434 Light Brown
- 321 Red
- 900 Dark Burnt Orange
- 704 Bright Chartreuse
- 807 Peacock Blue
- 208 Very Dark Lavender
Stitching Notes
8 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.
