Q1: Does the fabric need to be washed first?
Yes, pre-washing is recommended. While the thread is colorfast, natural fabrics like cotton or linen may shrink, and washing them ahead of time ensures the fabric does not pull at the stitches later.
Q2: How do I transfer the file to my machine?
Download the ZIP folder to your computer, extract the files, and copy the version your specific machine requires onto a USB stick.
Q3: Can you tell me how to wash the finished piece?
Pro Tip: Wash Smiling Ball Paper items gently in cool or cold water with mild detergent. Air drying or using a very low tumble dry setting will help keep your work in great shape for years to come.
