By all means you can soak it with "white vinegar". It will make it soft and will not harm the material. Good luck, and praying for your friend! Best wishes!

I agree that vinegar will be safe for your needlework. Just make sure it's white vinegar and not apple cider vinegar or some other colored kind...it would probably stain it.

YES. Vinegar also helps set the dye. I learned this from a home ec sewing teacher. Before we did our sewing project, she had us wash our fabric in COLD water and put vinegar in the COLD rinse water. I've also used it to wash new bright colored clothes in to help set the dye.

I wouldn't chance it. Try soaking it in a solution of salt and cold water. This will not only set the dye in the embroidery thread, but salt is a natural softener. Rinse with cold water after.
