Question...

I have a question I've been unable to find the answer to so far, so I'm hoping someone who reads this might know. I want to stitch around the edges of some cloth napkins with embroidery floss. The thread will be red, and I'm concerned about it fading once the napkins get in the wash. Any suggestions on how to pretreat the thread to avoid this problem?

I think washing it in cold water would help it. They always say to pre wash floss before starting on a cross stitch project. Hope that helps a little.
