How to maintain cross stitch
First of all, from the perspective of embroidery, we must keep our hands clean before embroidering, and wash hands frequently to prevent the embroidered cloth and embroidery materials from getting greasy on their hands. If you use cross embroidery frame cloth hoop or bandage, you must take the embroidery down after each embroidery to avoid dust. And when using embroidery thread, it is best to keep the length of 50 cm, so as to prevent knotting or pilling. After each embroidery, it should be stored in a sealed bag to prevent contamination.
Another is for the finished product of embroidery, you can use neutral detergent to clean, directly soak and rinse, do not rub, do not use soap. After washing, it's better to iron with steam iron. When ironing, spread a piece of cloth on the table. The embroidery face is in reverse and the back is upward. If the upper part can be separated by a layer of light colored cloth, the ironing effect will be better. Pay attention not to set the temperature too high to prevent the cloth from being ironed out. After ironing, frame it or clip it to a flat place. It's better to mount it without damp or exposure to the sun.
How to wash the printed cross stitch
The cleaning method of printed cross stitch is the same as that of ordinary cross stitch. The printing pattern on it is printed with water-soluble materials, so it is very easy to clean. Before cleaning, we should clean our hands to avoid contaminating the cross stitch. When cleaning, wash with water, do not dry clean. Use cold water or warm water with neutral detergent, and then soak the cross stitch in water for a few minutes. When cleaning, do not rub or squeeze. Rinse directly until the color of those prints disappears, and then rinse again with water.
In addition, pay attention to the printing cross stitch is toxic, because there is formaldehyde in it. If you want to print the pattern on the cross stitch cloth, you need to mix all kinds of pigments and fix it on the fabric with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is very easy to dissolve in water, so the fabric meets water, formaldehyde dissolves, pigment also dissolves in water, after rinsing with water, the color can not be seen. Because of the particularity of cross stitch printing, it is not recommended for pregnant women, lactating women and children to contact.
How to wash the cross stitch
Prepare a big pot, but it depends on the size of the cross stitch. Put the cross stitch in the basin and pour water into it. It is better not to cross stitch. In addition, add neutral detergent (washing liquid, softener or shower gel) into the warm water in the basin, and let the embroidery soak for a few minutes. If the color doesn't fall, you can soak it for a few more minutes, and then wash it carefully, but don't rub or squeeze it. If the stain is off, repeat the process immediately until the color of the water becomes clear.
After the cleaning work is finished, you can take the work out of the water, put it on a clean, white thick towel, and then roll it up and press it to remove the excess water, spread it out and smooth it, and let it air in a ventilated place for several hours. When it is half wet, iron it again, but iron it from the back.
When ironing, a piece of cloth is laid on the table, and the back of the cross stitch fabric is turned upside down. It is better to put a layer of white fabric on the top to iron, so as to avoid ironing damage. In addition, it is necessary to adjust the temperature not too high to prevent the cloth from being damaged.
How to wash cross stitch water soluble pen
Soak the embroidery directly in normal temperature water, and the water-soluble pen will automatically clean up after meeting water. When washing the handwriting of the water-soluble pen, be careful not to add any daily chemical washing products, such as washing powder, washing liquid, soap, etc. If added, the handwriting will change color due to chemical reaction, which can not quickly eliminate the trace. And after the chemical reaction, the handwriting is difficult to eliminate. If this happens, in the case of prolonged soaking in clear water for a long time, it is invalid to remove the traces, try to add neutral detergent for scrubbing to make the trace fade or disappear; if it has not been removed, try to soak it with alcohol or white vinegar until the next day.
Because cross stitch needs a long time to make, whether it can keep the embroidery clean and tidy will directly affect the clearance of handwriting. Therefore, when you embroider, you must keep your hands clean, and try to avoid stains such as sweat and tea stains from soiling the embroidered cloth, otherwise it will not be easy to clean. On the same piece of embroidery, it is necessary to avoid overlapping line marks with water-soluble pens of different colors. Do not use water-soluble pens of different manufacturers on the same embroidery, and try to avoid the embroidery being exposed to the sun.
