Thanks for the thread bkay.
When we closed up my father's house, I found a quilt top my mother cross stitched for me in 70's. She never got it quilted and stored it in a closed plastic bag. I used Soak on the entire quilt and laid it in the sun after rinsing, but it did not get all of the stains out. There are some brownish stains remaining. I'm afraid to soak it too extensively (3 days as suggested above) because I'm afraid the cross stitching may fade or deteriorate.
Now that I have tried Soak, what else might you recommend? Do you spot soak or immerse the entire quilt?
Thanks so much.
