Fabric & Hooping
At about 41.4 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 89.5 × 92.5 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.
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
- 550 Very Dark Violet
- 3746 Dark Blue Violet
- 820 Very Dark Royal Blue
- 996 Medium Electric Blue
- 958 Dark Sea Green
Stitching Notes
With 6 colors and 5 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 picture-style design wants a flat, stable surface where it can be seen whole: a framed hoop piece, a quilt centre, a cushion front or the back of a jacket. Avoid stretchy garments, which distort the shape.
