Troubleshooting

Gently reinforce the stitching around the affected area by hand. Ensure you are not pulling too hard during application.
Beads snagging on other fabrics or equipment
Handle the appliques with care. When sewing, use a fine-tipped needle and consider using a thimble to protect your fingers. Store them in a soft pouch or box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These appliques are designed for direct application onto fabric. They can be hand-sewn or machine-sewn in place. Carefully position the applique, and then use a needle and thread or a sewing machine to secure the edges, ensuring the stitching is as discreet as possible.
Compatibility:
Compatible with a wide range of fabrics, including silks, satins, chiffons, tulles, and heavier materials like velvet or brocade. Avoid applying to very delicate or loosely woven fabrics where the weight of the beads might cause distortion.
Care:
- Washing: Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: Do not iron directly. If necessary, iron on the reverse side at a very low temperature, protecting the embellishments with a pressing cloth.
