At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~34 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 5, automatic trims: 26
• 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 80.3 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 168.0 × 150.7 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.

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.
