Fabric & Hooping
At about 63.1 stitches/cm² the fill is moderate: one layer of medium-weight cut-away handles most wovens, while knits want a second layer or a fusible backing. At 66.2 × 77.6 mm a 4×4 in hoop is plenty.
Stitching Notes
This is a single-color design, so it runs start to finish without a stop — handy for chain-stitching several pieces in one sitting. 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.
