I have also poked myself alot hand quilting and spit it is most of the time to remove it, don't worry I wash them!! LOL
I didn't know about the spit but I made friends with bandages early in my career. One pin prick can put tiny dots in lots of places. |

Oxi-Clean Pre wash does great on blood. My son wrestles and his singlets are white. More than one kid he was wresting got a bloody nose all over the singlet. Sprayed, washed, ALL GONE!!

I always tell my grandchildren that grammy made this with her own blood sweat and tears cause its true always those three things go into a good quilt.

my problem would be coffee also. Kittens love to crawl in my lap as I sew on the machine and then bump my arm for attention. errrrrr.

I even bought the little "round" bandages to keep in my drawer. They are perfect for when I poke myself with the quilting pins - those really make a good size hole in my finger.
