Fabric & Hooping
At about 159.1 stitches/cm² this is a dense fill that pulls hard on the fabric. Back it with firm cut-away, add a water-soluble topping on towelling or fleece, and pick a stable woven over anything stretchy. At 62.0 × 62.0 mm a 4×4 in hoop is plenty.

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.
