I had also heard that Hydrogen Peroxide will take stains out so I tried a little bit of it and it did not remove the stain but did remove the color from the fabric as well as leaving a hole in the fabric.

blood stain
The hospital always uses peroxide they used it on the socks on my dad after heart surgery
My grandma is very sick and in the hospital. She took her embroidery work and is finishing a tablerunner and accidently got some spots of blood on it from her IV line. She is very upset and doesnt know how to get it out and feels it is ruined. It was gonna be a present for my sibling. I told her I would ask you sweet people if you had any ideas on how to remove blood stains from very white embroidery linens.
Thank you very much it is much appreciated.

Get her a little bottle of glycerin at the drugstore. Pour a few drops on the blood and let it sit overnight, then wash the item. This works very well on tablecloths and napkins, too. I used to keep a bottle in the top drawer of my buffet, and if someone spilled meat juice or wine on the tablecloth, I'd immediately pour it on the spot. If it's a large spot, just rub it around with your fingers. It works every time. Peroxide also usually works well, but be careful that it doesn't damage the fabric.
