Fabric & Hooping
At about 43.8 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 68.6 × 79.0 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:
- 3705 Dark Melon
- 321 Red
- 317 Pewter Gray
- 645 Very Dark Beaver Gray
- 434 Light Brown
- 3777 Very Dark Terra Cotta
- 550 Very Dark Violet
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
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.
