Fabric & Hooping
At about 34.2 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 68.7 × 146.0 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:
- 317 Pewter Gray
- 721 Medium Orange Spice
- 3013 Light Khaki Green
- 550 Very Dark Violet
Stitching Notes
With 4 colors and 3 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
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.
