Hand Washing My Hand Embroidery

8/28/21

I hand wash all of my embroideries to remove all oils that were transferred from my hands on to the piece while holding the piece for 8 months. Also, washing the piece will shrink the cotton of the threads and fabric which in return will tighten the piece. You want to remove the oils from the piece to ensure that your fingerprints don’t appear on the piece over time.
