I'm working on a top that I bought about 7 yrs. ago. I did the embroidery, put the quit away until now. DO Not iron it or wash it. The iron will set the die and it may not come out. Washing will takeout all the die and no more marks. I hope yours is better than mine. Some of the quilting lines did not get marked and I've had to trace some so I cold remark the blank spots. When I get it finished it will be beautiful. Good luck with yours.
