Recommend Embroidery After Care Instructions
Shred Thread Shop recommends following the fabric care instructions on each item, but here are additional tips to help keep your custom embroidered items in pristine condition. The gentlest option is to hand wash you item and allow the item to air dry, but if you do choose to machine wash, we recommend the following:
turn the item inside out to protect the embroidery.
try to not wash the item with other clothing that might cause damage, such as zippers or buttons.
choose a mild detergent.
do not use bleach.
