Fabric & Hooping
At about 59.8 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 292.5 × 117.0 mm this needs a large-format hoop, or splitting across several hoopings with alignment marks — check it against your machine's maximum field first.
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:
- 317 Pewter Gray
- 900 Dark Burnt Orange
- 909 Very Dark Emerald
- 931 Medium Antique Blue
- 738 Very Light Tan
- 899 Medium Rose
- 472 Ultra Light Avocado
- 996 Medium Electric Blue
Stitching Notes
8 colors across 7 changes makes this a real thread-management job: lay the spools out in sequence order first and keep the color chart to hand. 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
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.
