Hi,
Yes its a must, if the stomacher is going to be washed after it has ben embroidered. But i thoaght about the very heavy embroidery might shrink the stomacher rather much with all that stuffing of the lines.

Pre-shrink your fabric AND your thread. That may help.

Hi.
I am sorry i didnt read the text before i posted the link.
It says that the cap and the stomacher are made with cotton. Does any of you
know how much shrinking there would be of such a close
embroidery? It seems to me, that there would be much shrinking.
