I am new to this blogging. I have a friend that is diabetic. She makes sure her pin points are between the fabrics, not sticking out the back. You need to bring the pin back up from the back to the centre of the batting. I use this method in my ordinary sewing as well. It sure helps with the pricking. I have not had a great deal of luck removing blood spots.

If it is white, use 1/2 amonia and 1/2 water and blot the blood out. then rince as best as you can.

Blood is a protein stain. If it is colored fabric, test for color fastness BEFORE using the amonia.

I used to work at a dry cleaners and this is what we used.

Worked in a dentist office for 27 years and Peroxide was what we used. I assume you need to always test but never had it fail.

This thread is a life saver, I was handsewing binding last night and got a tiny drop of blood...salt and water took it out so easily!

Darlene, thank you. I ordered a trial size. Realized I had a blood stain on my white quilt. After spitting many, many times I was too dry to spit anymore. Relying on this to work for me.
