Beading on Linen Embroidery - Help - Bridal Sampler

Hello all!

I'm needing some good advice, if possible.:D

I'm working on Sweetheart Tree's "To Have and Hold" Bridal Sampler for my Sister and her fiance.

All of the embroidery part is done (Yay!) but I'm now down to the beading.I only work in a hoop, so it's let the linen I'm working on get quite wrinkly.So I guess my question is, if I gently hand-launder and press the needlework thusfar, and go to put on the beading, can I still wash and press it again once the glass seed beads & paillettes are on?Or should I wait until everything is done?

Also, may I still press one last time with the beads and paillettes are still on?Or will that mess things up?

Any help is -greatly- appreciated!

Can't wait to get this done!

Usually all washing and pressing is done before any beading and embellishments are put on. Pressing afterwards is difficult because the piece becomes bumpy from behind. Small wrinkles can be left around the bead or embellishment where the fabric tries to stretch flat over it during pressing.

I would wash and press it and then to the beads holding the fabric in hand.Make sure to wash your hands before you work on it and every so often while working on it

Yes, press first then add beads
