Quilted Item Care Instructions

Washing:

·         Machine wash on delicate/gentle cycle.

·         Use cold water to preserve the integrity of the fabric and prevent color bleeding.

·         Avoid using hot water as it may cause shrinkage and damage to stitching.

Detergent:

·         Use a mild detergent

·         Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can weaken the fibers and cause fading.

Color Protection:

·         Include a Shout Color Catcher sheet in the wash to trap any potential color bleeding and keep your quilted item looking vibrant.

·         This helps prevent color transfer between fabrics, especially important for quilts with varied colors and patterns.

Drying:

·         Air dry whenever possible to prevent shrinking and preserve the quilt's shape.

·         If using a dryer, use the lowest heat setting or tumble dry on gentle to avoid excessive heat exposure.

Storage:

·         Store quilted items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.

·         Avoid storing in plastic bags or containers to allow for airflow and prevent moisture buildup.

Spot Cleaning:

·         For small stains or spills, spot clean with a gentle detergent and cold water.

·         Blot the stain carefully with a clean cloth rather than rubbing to prevent spreading.

Avoiding Abrasion:

·         Handle quilted items with care to avoid excessive pulling or stretching of the fabric.

·         Keep away from rough surfaces or objects that could snag or tear the stitching.

Following these care instructions will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your quilted items for years to come.
