Fabric & Hooping
At about 56.6 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 180.4 × 159.4 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.

Stitching Notes
At 27 colors and 26 changes this is a long session. Sort and label the spools in sequence order, and pick a stopping point in advance so you can step away mid-design without losing your place. 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.
