Fabric & Hooping
At about 44.1 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 119.1 × 167.6 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.

Stitching Notes
9 colors across 8 changes makes this a real thread-management job: lay the spools out in sequence order first and keep the color chart to hand. Being a PES file, the thread assignments come embedded, so most machines will display the color list for you.
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.
