OD2501 Embroidered Floral Trim – Vintage Elegance Collection

Tips for preservation

. Storage

• Avoid Folding: Store trims rolled rather than folded to
  prevent creasing or permanent fold marks.
• Use Acid-Free Tissue: Place
  acid-free tissue paper between layers when storing to prevent thread
  discoloration and fabric damage.
• Cool, Dry Environment: Keep trims in
  a breathable container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight,
  humidity, and heat.
• Avoid Plastic Bags: Avoid
  long-term storage in plastic as it can trap moisture and lead to mildew or
  fabric yellowing.

2. Cleaning

• Spot Clean Only: Gently dab
  stains with a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid rubbing or soaking the
  trim.
• Avoid Machine Washing: Machine
  washing may damage embroidery threads or cause fraying. Hand wash only if
  absolutely necessary.
• Air Dry Flat: If cleaned, let the trim air dry flat on a
  clean towel to retain its shape and avoid distortion.

3. Handling

• Wash Hands First: Natural oils
  and dirt can transfer from hands to fabric—always handle with clean, dry
  hands.
• Minimal Handling: Reduce
  handling to avoid fraying or pulling delicate threads.
• Secure Edges: If the trim is cut, secure the raw edges with
  gentle hemming or clear fabric glue to prevent unraveling.

4. While Sewing

• Use Sharp Tools: Use sharp
  scissors and fine needles to avoid pulling threads or damaging embroidery.
• Pin Sparingly: Use fabric clips or pin along the seam
  allowance to avoid visible holes in the embroidery.
