Fabric & Hooping
At about 5.6 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 96.6 × 3.5 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

Stitching Notes
9 colors across 0 changes makes this a real thread-management job: lay the spools out in sequence order first and keep the color chart to hand. Being a HUS file, the thread assignments come embedded, so most machines will display the color list for you.
What to Make With It
Lettering at this size suits shirt cuffs and collars, pockets, tote panels and towel borders — anywhere a name or initial needs to sit cleanly on a flat surface. Keep the backing firm so the strokes hold their shape.
