Fabric & Hooping
At about 42.2 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 109.0 × 139.8 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

- 310 Black
- 820 Very Dark Royal Blue
- 741 Medium Tangerine
- 738 Very Light Tan
- 958 Dark Sea Green

- 3607 Light Plum
- 702 Kelly Green
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.
