smudge alert!

Post by anashenwrath »

The cross-stitch gremlins must have come in the night, bcs this morning, I noticed a dirty spot on the corner of my (bright white, of course) aida! I swear it wasn't there last night!

Regardless of how it got there, what is the best way to handle? Should I try to treat now, or should I just wait until I'm done and treat it when I wash the whole thing? It's not really close to the actual piece, but I can't guarantee that it would be covered by a frame (and it's just bugging me, of course!)

Thanks for any advice!

I always wait till the end and wash the whole thing......as with white aida.....and black I'm finding to.....it will probably happen again!
