Fabric & Hooping
At about 38.9 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 232.4 × 110.5 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.
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:
- 444 Dark Lemon
- 3607 Light Plum
- 721 Medium Orange Spice
- 3746 Dark Blue Violet
- 776 Medium Pink
- 798 Dark Delft Blue
- 815 Medium Garnet
- 958 Dark Sea Green
Stitching Notes
8 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
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.
