Q1: Should I pre-wash my fabric before stitching this design?
Yes, dear! Natural fabrics like cotton and linen tend to shrink in the wash while your embroidery threads will not. Pre-washing keeps the fabric from pulling tightly around the stitches later on.
Q2: How do I load Christmas Thief Tangled In Christmas Lights onto my embroidery machine?
Quick Note: Simply download the ZIP folder to your computer and unzip it. Then, copy the specific file format your machine reads directly onto your USB stick.
Q3: What is the best way to wash items featuring this pattern?
Pro Tip: Launder your finished items gently in cool or cold water alongside a mild detergent. Air dry or use a very low heat setting in the dryer to keep the threads looking crisp.
Q4: How can I tell if I have already purchased Christmas Thief Tangled In Christmas Lights?
