After you embroider a garment you should remember that the thread that you used has changed the laundering needs of the garment that you have embroidered. I have listed below the instructions for garments which have been embroidered with metallic, polyester and rayon theads.
Metallic Embroidery Threads
Washing Instructions:
Embroidered articles or garments should be washed with a neutral detergent in cold or lukewarm water. Immediately after washing, rinse the embroidery in cold water thoroughly.
Avoid using chlorine bleach or optical brightening agents or heavy detergents which may cause discoloration.
Wash embroideries separately from other laundry and do not crowd them into washing machine. Do not wring out or rub briskly.
After washing, dry the embroidery immediately. Never leave embroidered items soaking in water or folded or piled together when wet.
When stain removers are to be used, it is suggested that a small experimental evaluation be conducted in advance to make sure that the stain remover dose not affect colours adversely.
Embroidery is dry cleanable with petroleum only.
Ironing Instructions:
All embroidered items should always be ironed on the reverse side, at a low temperature setting, and most preferably between two pieces of cloth.
Usage Instructions:
It is recommended that thread from the same dye lot is used on symmetrical panels that require all identical colour combination. If no thread of the same dye lot is available, it is advisable to run, for evaluation, threads of different dye lots on a sample piece of material before sewing on a garment.
Storage Instructions:
Do not dispose the thread to sunlight or artificial light for extended periods.
Keep the thread in a well-ventilated area, avoiding high-temperature and high-humidity conditions under which to stock and work.
Never get the thread in direct contact with such materials or goods which contain sulfide as rubber. Also keep it away from area with airborne contaminations, specially with area with gas stoves which tend to emit sulfur acid gas.
