Fabric & Hooping

At about 75.4 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 68.6 × 135.8 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

Thread Colors in This Design

• 3777 Very Dark Terra Cotta

• 743 Medium Yellow
• 899 Medium Rose

• 3607 Light Plum

Stitching Notes

7 colors across 6 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

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.
