| Before stitching | Washing first is advisable: all linens shrink by about 3% in the first wash. Apart from white and natural shades (raw, flax), never go above 35 °C. Work that will only be framed can be stitched unwashed. |
|---|
| Washing after stitching | By hand, never above 30 °C, with a mild soap (or Marseille soap), without rubbing, so the threads do not bleed; rinse in plenty of cold water. |
|---|
| Drying and ironing | Remove excess water by rolling the linen in a clean towel and pressing, without wringing; dry flat, in the shade, away from heat sources. Iron while still slightly damp, on a medium-hot (linen/cotton) setting, always from the back, with a soft folded towel under the embroidery. |
