Troubleshooting
Broderie Anglaise snagging
Handle with care when wearing and washing. Avoid sharp objects. If a small snag occurs, do not pull; try to gently tease it back into place with a needle.
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are using cold water and avoiding high heat during drying. Air drying flat is the safest method.
Color fading
Wash with similar colors and use a color-safe detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
