At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~10 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 10, automatic trims: 3
• 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 10.5 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 160.8 × 370.7 mm this needs a large-format hoop, or splitting across several hoopings with alignment marks — check it against your machine's maximum field first.

Stitching Notes

11 colors across 10 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.
