Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your hands are clean to prevent staining the white fabric. You will need a pair of very sharp embroidery scissors for the cutwork sections of the Hardanger pattern. To prepare, overcast the edges of your fabric to prevent fraying while you work. When the piece is complete, treat it delicately; light dusting or cold water hand-washing with mild detergent is recommended if necessary, but avoid heavy scrubbing or machine drying to maintain the shape of the 3D structure.
