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 84.5 × 28.1 mm a 4×4 in hoop is plenty.

- 56 Moss Green

Stitching Notes

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.
