Fabric & Hooping
At about 47.1 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 100.4 × 97.6 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.
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
- 415 Pearl Gray
- 996 Medium Electric Blue
- 900 Dark Burnt Orange
- 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz
- 561 Very Dark Jade
Stitching Notes
With 6 colors and 6 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.
