    Yeah, here it is: http://www.leahday.com/quilttheduchess/ Look for the "Update: Spring 2012" entry. It's about 2/3rds down the page. This story scared me off of hydrogen peroxide on fabric! It's tragic looking at those photos....so much amazing work.
    I have a hole in one of my table runners because I used hhydrogen peroxide to try and remove marking pencil and the markings did not disappear.
    Happy Quilting

    A great hint so thanks for sharing it with us. Who hasn't scorched a piece of fabric before, not me ?

    Was the fabric starched? Perhaps the starch scorched, not the fabric and the peroxide took the starch off? Just a thought.
    Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
    Done is better than perfect.

    I attend a weekly quilting class and one of the students told me that if you poke yourself and get blood on the fabric, to spit on thread or fabric and rub the blood spot. I was not a believer until I poked myself and got a drop of blood on white fabric. I spit (quite a lot) on a piece of fabric and rubbed the spot - the blood went away (not sure where but do not care).

    Just thought I would give this tip.

    This also works great on small spots of blood--but it has to be your saliva.

    Peroxide is also great for removing blood. Dab it on immediately. I get frequent nose bleeds and have had to do this a lot on my clothes. Also, nurses use it.

    Nurses use hydrogen peroxide to get blood off clothes, but not on wounds because hydrogen peroxide is a cytotoxin which means it will kill cells. These cells accumulating on your clean wound are necessary for healing and you do not want to kill them.
