Frequently Asked Questions

This is a compilation of commonly asked questions about Dutch Treat Designs and its patterns.

Does Dutch Treat ship to destinations outside of the USA? Yes, but please contact us before you order. We will need to calculate your shipping costs by hand and let you know the total cost of your order including shipping

How much is shipping within the USA? Freight for retail orders in the USA is calculated as follows:

Sales From	Sales To	Rate
$0.00	$3.25	$1.50
$3.26	$10.00	$3.00
$10.01	$50.00	$6.60
$50.01	$100.00	$8.00
$100.01	and up	$10.00

The Dutch Treat Frame must be shipped separately because of its weight and size, and has a flat shipping cost to the continental USA of $12.00 per frame. We typically ship either by USPS priority mail or UPS ground, depending on the size of the order.

How big is a 9 square tabletopper? 22 inches x 22 inches

Is a finished tabletopper washable? YES! Claudia says:
"I wash the tabletoppers in my washing machine, with Tide, using warm water on a regular cycle. I do not put them in the dryer. After the last spin cycle is completed, take them out and damp iron. After they are ironed I leave them laying flat to dry. This gives them a nice crisp feel and takes out all the wrinkles.

The Anne Cloth polyacrylic fabrics iron flatter than the oatmeal and the cotton Anne Cloth. The polyacrylics do not usually allow any stains to stick to the fabric. If you do have a problem with a stain (i.e. a pen mark for example) treat the area with a squirt of Spray N Wash before it goes in the washing machine and the stain should come out. They have always come out for me!

I have not had a problem with any color run of the threads if you wash these as suggested in the washing machine. I prefer to wash the toppers in a machine rather than hand washing. I wanted a doily that you could use, and if it couldn't be washed then it didn't work as I needed it to. I looked at the type of threads I chose to stitch with very carefully before the first tabletopper was released. I am happy with the product and the "parts" even after 52 topper designs."

What is the difference between cream and ivory Anne Cloth? None.
Zweigart calls it "cream", while Claudia calls it "ivory"
