How do you remove a rust spot from a white quilt block?
Does anyone know how to get rust out of a fabric. My friend's iron died and so she went and used one her hubby uses for ironing shirts and didn't realize there was still a little water in it when she went to press. It was set on steam. She had a Dresden plate on a white background and it spit rust out on the background fabric. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the rust out without undoing the Dresden plate from the background and putting it on a new block. The Dresden plates are from old feed sacks that she bought at a church sale. I suggested trying a tide stick on the rust spot or maybe Dawn detergent with a small brush. Anyone have any ideas?
