I have been told by people on the quilting subreddit to soak it in vinegar and then machine was it on cold and gentle, using detergent and fabric softener. Is this a good idea or will i make it worse?
CAN it be made worse? If it is already as bad as you say (has your panic caused you maybe to overestimate the amount of damage done?) it may be worth a try. It probably won't harm it further.
Good Luck!
