needlepoint pillows A good question, and a good answer..
I’ve recently inherited a lovely needlepoint picture, however the person who owned it smoked alot. It wasn’t covered in glass so it’s had no protection. Any ideas?
Contact a needlework shop and ask them to recommend a cleaner or framer who works with needlepoint. How it is handled will depend on the type of yarn uses (wool, cotton, silk) and the type of mesh it was worked on. Then it will need to be restretched for framing.
If you still want to try it yourself:
Go to Target,purchase “Folex”. It’s in an unsightly white bottle with purple letters. It’s made for carpets but I use it on my suede couches, shoes, rugs, clothes, curtains, car interiors, etc. So far it has cleaned every bit of anything that was considered a “mistake”; wine, clay, blood, mustard, everything. It contains no harsh chemicals. You spray on, rub around with finger tips, then blot up with a paper towel. So far, nothing has faded. The only downside - I spot cleaned my Berber carpet - we actually had to have a cleaning crew come in and do an entire house cleaning because we had “new carpet” in all the spots I cleaned. It made the rest of the house look dingy!
« Stitching - Getting started
– I WOULD TRY SOAKING it in cold water (take it out of the frame first) then gently squeeze it out. oh yeah use woolite. DO NOT WRING OR TWIST.! ! !stretch it out in an embroidery hoop.and then let it air dry.-
