Fabric & Hooping
At about 28.0 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 248.4 × 45.9 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.

- 310 Black
- 721 Medium Orange Spice
- 561 Very Dark Jade
- 3746 Dark Blue Violet

Stitching Notes
10 colors across 9 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
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.
