Care Instructions:
- Washing: Wash finished embroidery projects according to the fabric care instructions. DMC Stranded Cotton is generally colorfast, but it's always best to test a small area first.
- Ironing: Iron your finished projects on a low to medium heat setting, with the embroidery face down on a soft surface, like a towel. This will help preserve the texture of your stitches.
