Fabric & Hooping

At about 58.7 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 86.4 × 111.8 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:

• 561 Very Dark Jade
• 645 Very Dark Beaver Gray
• 704 Bright Chartreuse
• 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz
• 743 Medium Yellow
• 550 Very Dark Violet

Stitching Notes

With 6 colors and 6 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.
