Q1: Should I pre-wash fabric before stitching my Girl With Books design?
Yes, dear! Natural fabrics like cotton and linen shrink, but your embroidery thread won't. Pre-washing keeps your Girl With Books design looking smooth by preventing fabric pull around the stitches later.
Q2: Can I resize the Girl With Books design for a different project?
Quick Note: For the best stitch quality on your Girl With Books design, try to avoid resizing by more than 10%. Too much change can alter how the stitches lay and affect the finished look.
