Fabric & Hooping
At about 95.6 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 98.4 × 89.4 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.

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.
