Transfer the wet cloth to the second bowl.

Matting framing stitching washing pressing.

My method of washing cross stitch. When you stitch the natural oils on your hands transfer to the fabric. That s why it is important to wash your cross stitch and hand embroidery projects before framing even if the piece looks clean. Washing your cross stitch is an easy step so don t skip it.

Test your threads and fabric before washing to make sure the colors do not run. Dip your project in the first bowl and leave it to soak through while you add your soap to the second bowl. To view the next video in this series click. If you don t wash it first those invisible oils from your fingers will stain the fabric and turn your cross stitch piece yellow.

Oils that you can t immediately see can become stains over time. Fill one bowl with cold water the other with lukewarm water. Framing a cross stitch project can seem daunting but in this post i ll be showing you how you can save yourself money and time by learning to stretch and frame cross stitch projects yourself. Use a gentle phosphate free soap formulated for washing needlework cross stitch silk fabrics and quilts.

Continue pressing the piece until it is completely dry. Washing your cross stitch piece before framing it is the best way to preserve it. Washing is also an easy way to get out stubborn crease. If you have cross stitched a heavy material you may need to use the steam setting on your iron to remove the creases but as long as you use a pressing cloth the heat from the steam will not damage the cross stitch or any beading you have worked into your pattern.
