Fabric & Hooping
At about 183.5 stitches/cm² this is a dense fill that pulls hard on the fabric. Back it with firm cut-away, add a water-soluble topping on towelling or fleece, and pick a stable woven over anything stretchy. At 402.8 × 140.0 mm this needs a large-format hoop, or splitting across several hoopings with alignment marks — check it against your machine's maximum field first.
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:
- 3777 Very Dark Terra Cotta
- 909 Very Dark Emerald
- 815 Medium Garnet
- 3746 Dark Blue Violet
- 444 Dark Lemon
Stitching Notes
With 5 colors and 4 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
A border repeats well along table runners, pillowcase edges, curtain hems and quilt sashing. Stitch one repeat on scrap and measure it, then work out how many repeats your piece needs before you hoop the real fabric.
