Needlepoint - CLEANING and RESTORATION


Expert: Henry Babcock - 6/12/2009

Question
My husband has a petit-point measuring approx.  8' X 8' .
We need to have it cleaned.  We live in Northern Wyoming.
Any suggestions?

Answer
Emma,

Here's a link to some very good cleaning directions from The American Needlepoint Guild:

http://needlepoint.org/FAQ/stitching.php#Q17

Read through both methods of cleaning to decide if this is a project you wish to do yourself.

If you prefer to have someone else do the work, try searching online for "needlepoint rug cleaning" or "needlepoint cleaning".  You should find several resources for professionals who can get the job done right.

Hope this helps,

Henry Babcock
