At The Machine

Fabric & Hooping

At about 114.2 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 113.8 × 89.0 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

Thread Colors in This Design

• 645 Very Dark Beaver Gray
• 3746 Dark Blue Violet
• 561 Very Dark Jade

• 807 Peacock Blue
• 444 Dark Lemon

Stitching Notes

9 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

Lettering at this size suits shirt cuffs and collars, pockets, tote panels and towel borders — anywhere a name or initial needs to sit cleanly on a flat surface. Keep the backing firm so the strokes hold their shape.
