i'm doing quite a large [ish] cross stitch, erm, thingy.
it says in the book to 'wash it gently' before framing it. but it doesn't say how to wash it or anything and i'm not sure either.
anyone got any ideas? should i wash it? will it make a difference? and how? heh! would it matter if i didn't wash it?

also, this is probably obvious...but i'm guessing i don't put the glass in the frame with the cross stitch?
