Fabric & Hooping

At about 71.2 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 109.5 × 150.5 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

Stitching Notes

At 20 colors and 19 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

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.
