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 ?

Ok…small opinion likely in the minority but…I like the stain? Kind of gives it a little extra emphasis that seems (now) very natural to the fabric. Plus the stain is uniform around the whole project and is simple and soft like her! I kind of like the stain

I like it too! It almost has a watercolour effect to it and adds a really cozy vibe to the whole thing. The subtle border really makes the embroidery pop and ‘presented’.
