I was just wondering if you cuties washed your dish cloths before embroiderying on them, they change so much after washing, so do you iron them? I would like to do a lot for Christmas. Hugs Diamond

If they come out a little wrinkled I do iron them after washing.

Yes - I wash and dry before stitching and then wash and dry again afterwards. I have not ironed them before (did not seem to need). I have ironed the back of the embroidery after washing if it needed (just the embroidery part).

They are going to shrink a LOT! So definitely wash them. You might even give them a spritz of starch when you are ironing them to give them some body to embroider on. That has helped me quite a bit. And I've also learned the hard way to use a WSS topper when doing anything thick like that. Otherwise the stitching just disappears.
