At The Machine

• Estimated stitch-out time: ~46 minutes at 600 spm
• Color changes: 6
• 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 70.4 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 167.0 × 233.1 mm plan on 6×10 in or larger, and mark your centre lines before hooping.

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:

• 958 Dark Sea Green

• 743 Medium Yellow
• 3716 Very Light Dusty Rose
• 815 Medium Garnet
• 415 Pearl Gray
• 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz

Stitching Notes

7 colors across 6 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

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.
