Fabric & Hooping
At about 68.7 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 118.3 × 15.6 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

- 900 Dark Burnt Orange
- 415 Pearl Gray
- 3746 Dark Blue Violet
Stitching Notes
With 5 colors and 5 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.
