The Memory Quilt that I am making will be hung and the photos, which have been printed by Spoonflower, This quilt is to be passed on the a grandson and I'm concerned that there will be no instructions passed on to him. I normally just add a card but cards may be misplaced or thrown away.I believed it could be dry cleaned. Please give me more information regarding "Dry Cleanin".

If you are planning to recommend dry cleaning, please heed these instructions directly from the Spoonflower website for your photo pictures: “Dry cleaning your products is fine, but ask the cleaner if they use the solvent perchloroethylene, also known as 'perc'. The pigment printing on our products will not survive the battle with this chemical.”
That said, I have advised my niece to have her memory quilt dry cleaned as it is filled with fabrics from her mothers wedding dress. I have already warned her about the chemical to ask about before turning it over to any dry cleaner.
