Machine file: Waggle-Dance-v1.pes (Artspira import label: Waggle1)
Brother Skitch PP1; 4 x 4 inch / 100 x 100 mm hoop; PES version 1.
Finished needle bounds: 72.8 x 49.8 mm. One hooping.
2,629 encoded sewing points; four thread steps.

TESTING STATUS
The final machine commands have been checked. Physical test sewing and
laundering have not been confirmed. The preview is a software simulation,
not a photograph of a sew-out. Test on matching stabilized scrap first.
Keep the supplied size; resizing requires recalculating and checking stitches.

FABRIC AND PREVIEW
Planned for cornflower-blue cotton knit. Preview blue is approximate (#7798d1).
The sparse wings show through to the fabric. There is no stitched background.
Colors, sheen and fine dark details will vary with fabric and lighting.
Use suitable soft cut-away embroidery stabilizer according to its directions.
Hoop knit without stretching. Keep other garment layers away from the needle.
Use the machine's trial run to check hoop clearance before sewing.

These are fragments at the full design's coordinates, not miniature designs.
Do not resize them. They check entry behavior; also test the whole design.

STITCHING AND EDITING NOTES
There are 52 intentional inter-object trims and 107 positioning jumps.
Clip remaining jump threads, particularly around the wing details.
The initial start, all three color changes and all 52 trimmed restarts were
reviewed. No cut-marked travel remains at the initial or color-change entries.
Intentional inter-object trims and appropriate anchoring remain.
Small bean-stitch repetitions are intentional. The audit records exact
coordinates; it does not prescribe a universal anchor length.

The supplied PES is preserved byte for byte. Editable geometry may produce
different anchors or travel when re-exported. Recheck the encoded file after
editing, retain intentional trims, regenerate entry tests and previews, and
use a new version/import label.

PACKAGE
PES machine file, four entry-test PES files, stitch preview, editable SVG,
stitch-level SVG, command audits, and this README. The matching ZIP contains
these same files. No concept image is needed to use the machine file.
