Press & Wash Embroidery Backing Directions:

1. Cut Press and Wash slightly larger than the hoop with about 1 inch extra all around.
2. Hoop one layer of the embroidery backing as tightly as possible. You want to achieve a tambourine-skin type tension in the hoop.
3. Hoop it with the release paper side facing up.
4. Score the release paper with a needle and remove it exposing the sticky, pressure-sensitive side.
5. Gently press the area of the garment to be embroidered and then apply the sticky side of the embroidery backing to the fabric. Smooth out all wrinkles. (What you originally had didn't make sense to me so make sure I interpreted this sentence correctly.)
6. Embroider your design.
7. Trim away the excess embroidery backing.
8. Rinse away excess embroidery backing using room temperature water. Tap water is fine.
   How much you rinse depends on the desired effect you want. The more you rinse, the softer the embroidery becomes.

Please note: With adhesive embroidery backings, it is recommended that embroiderers slow down
their machines and use titanium needles and/or silicone spray on the needles.
