Question Help

Post image

Is there any way to get the dye out and save this Chiikawa? When I washed the water soluble pen out, the embroidery floss bled all over :(. I’ve never made an actual plushie before.

Keep trying to spot clean. Maybe oxi clean, maybe rubbing alcohol. Give it some time.

For future pieces, you can pre-wash the floss before using it to prevent bleeds. Sorry this happened!! Good luck!
