Garment Washing Tips

---

• Wash Inside Out: Always turn the garment inside out before washing. This protects the thread from rubbing against zippers, buttons, or velcro from other clothes.
• Cool Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
• No Bleach: Chlorine bleach can degrade the thread and strip the color. Use a mild detergent.
• Drying: Hang dry is best! If you must use a dryer, use a Low Heat setting. High heat can shrink the garment and cause the embroidery to pucker.
• Ironing: NEVER iron directly over the embroidery. Polyester thread can melt, and the texture will flatten. If needed, iron the garment inside out or place a pressing cloth over the design.

⚠️ SPECIAL NOTE FOR CHAINSTITCH:Chainstitch designs are created with continuous loops that give them that beautiful vintage texture. If a thread snags or comes loose, DO NOT PULL IT. Simply snip the loose thread close to the fabric with small scissors. The design will not unravel.

(For All-Over Prints and Dyed Designs)

Unlike vinyl, sublimation ink is dyed directly into the fabric fibers. It won't crack or peel, but it still needs love!

• Cold Water Only: Wash in cold water to prevent fading.
• Strictly No Bleach: Bleach will chemically remove the dye from the polyester fibers.
• Avoid Fabric Softeners: These can coat the fibers and dull the vibrancy of the image over time.
• Tumble Dry Low: High heat can re-activate the ink gas and cause "ghosting" or fading. Remove promptly from the dryer.
