Fabric & Hooping
At about 210.3 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 36.1 × 38.6 mm it drops into the smallest hoop you own and suits multi-position frames for repeat placement.
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:
- 721 Medium Orange Spice
- 900 Dark Burnt Orange
- 3716 Very Light Dusty Rose
- 776 Medium Pink
- 899 Medium Rose
- 3705 Dark Melon
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
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.
