An embroidered sweatshirt is more than just a piece of clothing—it’s a combination of comfort, durability, and artistry. The raised stitches and textured patterns bring personality to the fabric, turning everyday wear into something special. But like any quality garment, embroidered sweatshirts need the right care to keep them looking fresh and long-lasting.
At Pawae Store, we design our sweatshirts with longevity in mind. In this guide, we’ll share practical washing and maintenance tips to ensure your embroidered sweatshirt remains a favorite in your wardrobe for years.
Why Special Care Matters
Embroidery is strong and durable, but it’s still thread stitched into fabric. Without proper care, stitches can fray, colors may fade, or the design could lose its shape. By following simple steps, you can extend both the beauty and the lifespan of your sweatshirt.
Washing Tips for Embroidered Sweatshirts
1. Turn the Sweatshirt Inside Out
Protects embroidery from rubbing against other clothes in the wash.
Reduces friction that can cause loose threads.
2. Use Cold Water
Cold water prevents shrinkage of the fabric.
Helps embroidery threads maintain their original colors.
3. Choose Gentle Detergents
Harsh chemicals, especially bleach, can weaken threads.
Opt for mild, color-safe detergents.
4. Select a Gentle Cycle
Machine washing is safe if you use a delicate setting.
Alternatively, hand-washing is the gentlest method for embroidery.
Drying Tips for Embroidered Sweatshirts
1. Avoid High Heat Drying
Tumble drying on high heat can shrink the fabric and weaken embroidery.
If using a dryer, choose low or air-dry settings.
2. Air Dry for Best Results
Lay the sweatshirt flat on a clean towel to maintain its shape.
Avoid hanging heavy sweatshirts, as weight may stretch fabric.
3. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight
Long exposure to strong sunlight can fade colors, especially embroidery threads.
Ironing and Steaming Embroidery
Do not iron directly on embroidery. The heat can flatten stitches.
Place a thin cloth over the design before ironing.
For best results, use a steamer to remove wrinkles without direct heat contact.
Storing Your Embroidered Sweatshirt
1. Fold Instead of Hanging
Folding prevents stretching at the shoulders.
Keeps embroidery from being distorted by hanger marks.
2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Protects against moisture, which can weaken fabric fibers.
Keeps colors vibrant.
3. Avoid Heavy Stacking
Don’t place heavy items on top of embroidered garments to avoid crushing stitches.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using bleach or stain removers directly on embroidery.
Washing with rough fabrics like jeans with zippers that may snag threads.
Over-washing: Embroidered sweatshirts don’t need to be washed after every light wear.
Ignoring loose threads: Trim carefully with scissors—don’t pull them.
