So my DMC red embroidery thread ran...can i fix it?
Hey all! So I'm making a sample baby blanket with an optional embroidered initial. I used a transfer pen to sketch the letter, and after I finished a ran a touch of water over the R to remove the ink. Well the ink disappeared, and the color ran! It's not awful, as you can see from the picture, but it is there, and I can't sell stuff that is going to bleed like this.
Can this particular piece be saved? I really hate to take the seam ripper to this thing, as it took a while to get it even this far along. Not to mention that this fabric is pricy(!!!) and I'd like to salvage the whole piece instead of having to cut it up for another use. What would you try? I read other posts like this and I've heard that my problem is very rare - so I guess(?) I'm still going to be ok offering embroidery for an upcharge...but I guess I'll be pre-rinsing all my threads.
