Support the whole textile, protect raised work from pressure and keep storage clean and dry. Avoid sharp folds across stitched or weakened areas.

## Before you start

Keep an offcut or finished sample containing every material and color used in the project. Read the care instructions for all components before testing a treatment.

## Try this example

For a raised floral sample, build a supported tray with clearance above the tallest flower. Test the closed container with a paper height gauge before putting the work inside.

## Check your result

- Let the sample dry fully and return to room conditions before comparing shape, color and surface. Record the actual treatment so it can be repeated.
- A successful small test reduces uncertainty but does not guarantee an identical result on old, damaged or mixed-material work.
