Wash shirts in cold water, and tumble dry low. If you dry in too hot of a setting, the shirt may pucker around the embroidery. This can be corrected by using an iron, on lowest setting, and placing on the back of the embroidery for only one second. You can also correct this by simply washing the shirt again. Some shirt colors may show traces of the embroidery hoop placement. This will disappear after the first washing.

I heard your story on NPR and you made me laugh and cry. I am on my second cancer in 6 years. I had breast cancer and just had my kidney removed due to cancer. Thank goodness the cancer has only hit where I have a spare part. Thanks for the humor.
