• 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 70.5 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 59.1 × 133.5 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:

• 434 Light Brown
• 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz
• 3777 Very Dark Terra Cotta
• 3607 Light Plum
• 550 Very Dark Violet
• 208 Very Dark Lavender

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.
