Embroidered items are crafted with quality thread and precision stitching. To keep your pieces looking vibrant and lasting longer, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle or hand wash with mild detergent. Turn garments inside out before washing to protect the embroidery. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry or hang on a clothesline — do not use a dryer as heat can damage the thread and stitching. Iron on low heat if needed, placing a cloth between the iron and embroidery. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
