Fabric & Hooping
At about 178.6 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 16.8 × 16.7 mm it drops into the smallest hoop you own and suits multi-position frames for repeat placement.

Stitching Notes
This is a single-color design, so it runs start to finish without a stop — handy for chain-stitching several pieces in one sitting. Being a PES file, the thread assignments come embedded, so most machines will display the color list for you.
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.
