3.After the cleaning work is completed, you can take the work out of the water, place it on a clean, white thick towel, and then roll it up and press it to remove the excess water. In order to avoid yellowing due to sun exposure, white cotton cloth or towels should be spread on the top and bottom of the cross stitch during the drying process.
4.Iron it again when it is half wet, but iron it from the back. When ironing, spread a piece of cloth on the table. The cross-stitched fabric is turned upside down.
