About This Design

This flowers house birthplace on my mind design stitches out at 117.5 × 96.5 mm (4.6 × 3.8 in) and uses 5 thread colors across 5 color changes. Total count is 5,222 stitches at a density of about 46.1 stitches/cm².

At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~9 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 5, automatic trims: 18
• 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 46.1 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 117.5 × 96.5 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:

• 721 Medium Orange Spice
• 317 Pewter Gray
• 208 Very Dark Lavender
• 561 Very Dark Jade
• 900 Dark Burnt Orange

Stitching Notes

With 5 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

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.
