Care

Hand embroidery on velvet and silk asks for a little care.

  • Follow the label on your piece first. As a rule, hand embroidery does not survive a washing machine.
  • Do not iron over the embroidery. Steam from the reverse of the fabric instead.
  • Store on a wide hanger, away from direct sunlight, so the pile of the velvet does not flatten.
  • A loose thread is normal on hand work. Do not pull it — trim it flush.
  • Take a beaded piece to a dry cleaner and tell them it is hand embroidered with glass beads.
