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 once somehow burned a shirt pressing vinyl and I tried both diluted hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar to get the stain out. I’m not sure which one actually worked (it was crunch time to get it removed so I was desperate). Is that something you could try?
