Fabric & Hooping

At about 198.6 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 216.0 × 288.0 mm this needs a large-format hoop, or splitting across several hoopings with alignment marks — check it against your machine's maximum field first.

Stitching Notes

At 21 colors and 20 changes this is a long session. Sort and label the spools in sequence order, and pick a stopping point in advance so you can step away mid-design without losing your place. 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.
