Question
I am cross stitching bread covers for Christmas gifts. Should they be
Scotchgarded (or other treatment)? How can I ensure washability? Thanks so
much!
Hello, Karen
I have made many bread covers in the past, and after washing them (if they need to be washed, that is), lay flat to dry, iron with cotton setting (if needed), and yes, I've Scotch Guarded them, too. :) Make sure that the recipient of the bread cover is aware that it'll need to be washed in cold water, and lay flat to dry. Scotch Guard as needed.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
Sincerely,
Angela :)

Expertise
I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
