At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~10 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 8, automatic trims: 10
• 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 52.3 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 109.3 × 107.1 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

Thread Colors in This Design

• 415 Pearl Gray
• 3607 Light Plum
• 798 Dark Delft Blue

Stitching Notes

9 colors across 8 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

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.
