Troubleshooting
Garment appears creased after washing.
Iron on a low heat setting while the garment is slightly damp, using a pressing cloth over the embroidered areas. Alternatively, a gentle steam can be used.
Loose threads on broderie detailing.
Carefully snip any loose threads with sharp, small scissors. Avoid pulling at the threads, as this can damage the embroidery.
White fabric appears dingy.
Ensure you are using a detergent suitable for white fabrics and washing in cool water. Avoid washing with dark or brightly coloured items. For stubborn dinginess, a specialised white fabric refresher might be considered, following product instructions carefully.
Scalloped edges look misshapen.
Gently reshape the edges by hand while the garment is damp. Ensure it is dried flat to help maintain the intended shape.
