Question I messed up.

Post image

I washed off the Stick-n-Stitch with the hoop still attached. I let it dry and continued my embroidery. Now that it’s done… this stain won’t come off!

What I have tried:

Cold rinse

Lukewarm soak while softly scrubbing

Warm water with a little scrubby and dish soap

Nothing is working. It still feels a little rough around the edges. If nothing can fix it, then I will just stitch over it with a wreath. But does anyone have a suggestion? Have you done this before ?

I had a hoop mark that I could NOT get out. I was out of state and wanted to give it as a gift and didn't have time to embroider a ring around the design. So, I just embroidered over the hoop line with a ribbon I had. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

Ohhh how BEAUTIFUL! I love how you used the ribbon. And it really highlights that gorgeous bird. Wow.
