Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging
Be mindful of rough surfaces and jewellery when wearing. If a minor snag occurs, try to gently pull the thread back through to the inside of the fabric. For more significant snags, professional repair might be needed.
Broderie pattern losing shape after washing
Ensure the garment is washed on a delicate cycle with cold water and no harsh spinning. Avoid tumble drying; instead, air dry flat or on a hanger to help the fabric and embroidery retain their shape.
Color bleeding
Always wash with like colours, especially for the first few washes. If colour bleeding is a concern, consider hand washing in cold water separately.
