Blood on the Quilt!! Help!!
 

I'm almost finished with a quilt. Sometime this morning I cuty had and didn't realize. I moved the quilt and noticed blood in two spots. Of course it's on the back where the fabric is light! Any suggestions on getting it out without spreading it?

Soak in cold water and I don't know what cleaner would be the best to use. Just don't wash in hot water or dry it in the dryer until it is out. I'm sure others will have a good answer. :) Best of luck to you

Hydrogen peroxide will instantly remove it. We use it in the hospital when a venipuncture springs a leak. . works wonders

Hydrogen peroxide will break it down. Might want to try on a scrap first. Also, as gross as it sounds, spit enzymes will break it down.

But only your own spit on your own blood.

I agree with your own spit!

If it is your blood, your saliva will take it out. Put a piece of cotton or clump of thread in your mouth and get it wet with your saliva and put it on the blood. I promise this works.

peroxide! i've had to use it many times - i pour some onto the spot- then blot with paper towel as it foams up(breaks down the blood) sometimes you may have to do it a few times to get it all out.

Your own spit will take it out!

label idea.....made with lots of love & some blood for you

As gross as it sounds, your saliva really will remove the blood. I pricked myself with a pin while putting the slightly off white binding on a quilt and out of instinct I licked my fingers and rubbed and it worked! I was a bit shocked but very, very happy!

Sooo, tell us, did you get it out? If you did, what did you use?

yep, your own spit will work if the blood is yours but not if it is someone else's blood. I have used this tip over and over and it really works.

I did spit on it....several times. Then I let it sit overnight. The larger spot, about the size of a thumbnail, had just really light brownish tinges so I just dabbed it with peroxide. I did the same with the smaller one. So spit and peroxide worked!

Spit is the wasy to go...just spit that blood out!

I agree with your own saliva. My Mom used to work in a drapery shop and that is what they were told to do.

I have been told by many quilters that if it is your blood, YOUR SALIVA, will remove it. Something to do with the enzymes. So, if I were you, I would try this suggestion. Please, if it works, let us know. Thanks.

Your own spit on zas small ball of rolled up cotton rub gently. .
