I read somewhere that embroidered clothes need to be washed differently. Is this true? I read that right after getting a bunch of embroidery floss to visibly mend some clothes
Washing embroidered clothes
Yup! Check out my post on securing embroidery thread, which includes laundry instructions. My embroidery tag's also a good resource.
Handmade embroidery tends to be fragile, so it's important to properly secure your thread and take good care of the embroidered item. If you don't, you risk for your threads to come loose.
If you're not careful when washing embroidered items, your embroidery threads could get snagged on things like buttons or zippers in the washer.
Try to either wash them by hand (safest), or use your machine's delicate cycle combined with a laundry bag. Always let the item air-dry.
