The cross stitch stocking I made dh
It still needs to be dry cleaned so it looks like a mess......and I have to finish it into a stocking.

Stephanie, that's beautiful! You did a great job!
Do you always dry clean your stitching? I've always hand-washed mine in plain Ivory dish washing liquid. Just curious...

I usually dry clean it because it comes back all nice and pressed.

Very nice, I usually wash mine in teh sink with woolite, but then I have to iron it which is a pain.

Shelzp,
Be careful with the Woolite, it's actually not the 'best' thing for your stitching. I've heard some cases where the colors have run from Woolite!
I was told by a 'veteran' stitcher that plain old Ivory dishwashing liquid (not the powder or laundry soap) is the way to go.
