Dont forget to Iron it upside down, i.e. the wrong side.

the reverse side otherwise youll risk scorching the thread

colours will fade if in direct sunlight but it will take some time; you can get anti reflect glass to prevent this

hand wash with a shampoo

dont wash if you are using overdyes - many of the colors will run, spot clean if possible.always wash hands before stitching to remove any oil from them.

I wash with cool water with a couple drops of mild soap. Then I roll in a clean towel and then transfer the fabric to another towel to iron the backside.

hmm, If I am unsure of colorfast floss, I fix them (with vinegar or special solution) - so they won´t bleeb when be washed. I grid my fabric with a special pen (disappear if in contact with water) or special thread, .. when I am finished I like to wash my piece in lukewarm wter with a little drop of soap - let it soak a bit and clean itunder fresh water, Put it on a colth and let it dry! Be careful when you have beads on the fabric, wah it first and iron it - THEN bead it! When the fabric is dry I iron it - you can damp it a bit, and make sure you use acloth as protection. Keep ypur iron not too hot, it takes a little longer, but you can be sure of you donßt "hurt" it =) have fun!

Never use pencil on the fabric. It is so hard to get rid of them after finish. I suggest water erasalbe pens and always try on edges before use it in large scale. Hope it helps
