At The Machine

- Color changes: 8, automatic trims: 48
- Follow the color sequence table above — thread numbers refer to the chart programmed in the file; match them to your brand by color.
Fabric & Hooping
At about 231.1 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 92.7 × 76.7 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.
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:
- 704 Bright Chartreuse
- 741 Medium Tangerine
- 776 Medium Pink
- 321 Red
- 645 Very Dark Beaver Gray
- 3777 Very Dark Terra Cotta
- 3746 Dark Blue Violet
- 996 Medium Electric Blue
Stitching Notes
8 colors across 8 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.
