    hello, I am brand new here
    I was wondering if anyone has a tip on removing water stains, I have heard if you hold it over a kettle steaming and rub, it should help, but tried that with no avail
    thanks anyone.
    If anyone ever needs help with removing marks and care of fabrics please ask, I might be able to swop tips.

    I have had luck fighting water with water. Wash the entire garment in water and a lot of times that evens it out and takes care of it, but check the fabric type.

    You might find it helpful to go into the workshop forum and look for the care and cleaning workshop that was given by Hollis (pastperfect2)..it will probably answer many of your questions
