At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~20 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 7, automatic trims: 75
• 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 80.7 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 90.1 × 162.1 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.

• 3716 Very Light Dusty Rose

Stitching Notes

8 colors across 7 changes makes this a real thread-management job: lay the spools out in sequence order first and keep the color chart to hand. 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.
