Care of your embroidered garment:
• All embroidered garments should be washed with a mild detergent.
• Do not use chlorine bleach or optical brightening agents.
• If bleach is required for washing, use non-chlorine bleach in accordance with product instructions .
• Machine wash cold water.
• Delicate wash cycle .
• If color residue appears in water, rinse first in lukewarm water and then cold several times until rinse water becomes clear.
• Remove promptly after wash cycle completion.
• Never leave any piece of embroidered clothing soaking or in water or lying in a pile when wet.
• Upon completion of washing cycle place articles immediately in dryer, use normal setting.
• Do not wring out the embroidered articles.
• Do not rub stained embroidery. Embroidery looks best if, after laundering, it is pressed with a warm iron, especially the larger designs. Rayon thread is colorfast and shrink resistant. However, garments, particularly cotton goods, will shrink and change shape with each washing. Ironing will help return the garment to its original shape.
Note on Red garments: red cotton garments sometimes continue to bleed after many washings. If you choose a red cotton garment and an embroidery design with white or light colored thread, the garment may bleed into the embroidery thread. It is best to use dark embroidery threads on red cotton garments.
