I have increased the satin stitch width and simplified some of the fill patterns. This pattern contains the following:Design files and instructions for the Prickly Pear Wall Hanging, in the following formats: .DST, .EMB, .EXP, .HUS,.JEF, .PES, .VP3. The blocks can be stitched out two ways:Designs Only: each of the nine cactus designs range between 5 x 7 and 5 x 93/4. A hoop that is at LEAST 160mmx 260mm (6.25 x 10.25) is required.
