Fabric & Hooping
At about 50.0 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 83.6 × 96.0 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

Stitching Notes
With 4 colors and 3 changes you can pre-wind the whole set before you start and never leave the machine. 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 border repeats well along table runners, pillowcase edges, curtain hems and quilt sashing. Stitch one repeat on scrap and measure it, then work out how many repeats your piece needs before you hoop the real fabric.
