Hollyhock pes file from Tarina Etsy store. 25K+ stitch count, 3.5- by 9-inches. 

Stitched on a lightweight 13-inch by 19-inch rectangular (beige) purchased place mat.

Puckering a problem. Used one layer on cut-away stabilizer on the bottom and wash-away on top. Cut-away secured within positional hoop. Place mat floated above.

Stabilizers and placemat machine basted together as first step of stitching.
