Troubleshooting
Broderie threads snagging
Carefully snip any snagged threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid pulling at the snagged area.
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are using cool water and avoiding high heat in washing and drying. If slight shrinkage occurs, try carefully steaming the garment to regain its shape.
Discoloration of the red fabric
