What temperature and procedure is used to fully anneal 1144 tool steel?

Thanks for the help!

1144 isn't tool steel. It's a freecutting high-tensile carbon
steel and has about 125KSI tensile strength in the as-drawn condition.
Shouldn't need annealing if it hasn't been heat-treated. I would
anneal it by heating it slowly to dull cherry red and cooling it
slowly in sand or ashes.
