I always wash and iron any projects made with DMC and Anchor threads. Press on the reverse using a thick white towel underneath for padding. If you are in any doubt about the colour fastness of your thread, e.g., hand dyed, stitch a separate sample of a few stitches and take a damp paper tissue and dab it. If any colour comes off on the tissue, wash the sample gently. If ALL the colour comes off, either don't wash, or complete the project less the problem threads, wash it and then add the specialist threads.
N.B. If you are framing your work yourself, use acid free mount to make sure your hard work is not going to rot! And if using a professional framer, make sure he does the same. |
