Remove embroidery hoop marks after completing a project"
Susan Penny
CrossStitcher Editor
“Sometimes when you’ve finished a project, the hoop or frame can leave ‘halo’ marks on the fabric you’ve been stitching on – especially if you’ve been working on fabrics like jersey or terry towelling. Simply wash your work and these will disappear. Just remember to wash them on a gentle cycle or hand wash only – and never use the tumble dryer, always air dry, once washed.”
