I was wondering if I could do something similar (or maybe exactly the same as you). For all my 10 ...
I do not own a dryer and simply hang the Aida on a cloth horse.
I should have specified that I wash on the machine the tissue before stitching it! In order to protect the Aida in the machine, I put it into a pillow case, so that it won't get stuck on other items.
As for the finished projects, I wash it by hand: I put it in a luke warm water bassin with shampoo or special soap for wool, gently stirr, let it in the water for about 30 min, then rinse abundantly. I do not twist the tissue but press it to eliminate as much water as I can then hang it till almost completely dry. I iron it on the back side only (so as not to flatten the stitches), exactly as R Lee does, on a towel and with medium warm iron. I do actually steam iron it and never had problems with the colour of the threads staining the tissue.
Hope this help.
