To preserve your cross-stitch embroidery paintings , avoid exposing them directly to sunlight to prevent fading. Gently hand wash your embroidery with mild detergent and lukewarm water, then lay flat to dry. Iron them inside out to avoid flattening the stitches. To store them, wrap them in tissue paper or cotton cloth to protect them from dust and wrinkles. If possible, avoid folding your embroidery; prefer to roll them or store them flat.
