QuestionWashing embroidered clothes tips
Posted November 24, 2024 by RegularFeminist in ArtsAndYarns

Some time ago I bought an embroidery kit to practice different types of stiches (I had very little experience prior to that). Turned out embroidery is not that hard and now I want to start embroidering my clothes - to mend tiny holes with daisies or to simply decorate sleeves of my shirts. Since I haven't got much experience with embroidery I do not know how embroidered clothes behave during laundry. Our laundry routine is so far simple - put dirty clothes straight into the washing machine and when it's full - wash all the clothes. We don't separate clothes into separate piles. The only clothes we wash seperately is sports gear as it requires a lower temperature. So question: if I embroider, say, a pocket of my trousers, should I keep putting my trousers in the everything-mix or should I chose a more delicate mode, like for sports gear? Will hot water affect the colours? Will a longer cycle damage stitches?
