-WASH FIRST-STITCH THE END OF EACH SIDE (NOT THE TOP AND BOTTOM) SO IT WON’T PULL OPEN. WASH IN HEAVY DUTY CYCLE WITH TOWEL (TO AGITATE), SOAP AND FABRIC SOFTENER, AND I USE COLD WATER. TRIM THREADS, PUT IN DRYER.
-YOU WILL NEED TO TRIM THE APPLIQUE TO SIZE, AFTER WASHING, BUT I SUGGEST YOU DECIDE WHAT PATTERN YOU WANT TO USE THE MEASUREMENT TO TRIM TO SIZE
-BUY A LITTLE EXTRA APPLIQUE. IT MAY SLIGHTLY COME APART WHEN YOU WASH AND AS YOU SEW AND CUT.
