At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~16 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 5, automatic trims: 7
• 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 34.8 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 130.2 × 212.9 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.

• 958 Dark Sea Green

• 815 Medium Garnet
• 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz
• 798 Dark Delft Blue

Stitching Notes

With 6 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.
