Question
Do you wash adia cloth before you start your cross stitch project?
Grace,
I usually wash my fabric before I stitch, but only after I have bound the edges. I use a surger around the edge of the fabric to prevent fraying. I have also used FrayChek. It works very well and holds up to the washing.
Happy Stitching!
