LAUNDERING & PRESSING

Although Anchor products are carefully dyed to be colorfast, environmental issues have eliminated certain chemicals that ensure this process. Therefore it is important to launder any project with dark colors very carefully.

To launder an embroidery project, use plenty of warm to hot water and a mild detergent that is suitable for delicate fabrics. Place the project in the detergent solution and gently agitate. Carefully rub spots with your fingertip. Do not wring. Rinse in warm to hot water. Briefly roll project in a towel to absorb the excess moisture. Lay the project out flat. Cross stitch projects should immediately be pressed dry. Other embroidery can be allowed to dry flat partially before pressing.

To press an embroidery project, place a plush towel on an ironing surface. Lay the project on the towel, right side down. Lightly press the project using a moderately hot, dry iron.
