When you prick your finger and get blood on what you are working on, use a little of your own saliva on the spot immediately. For some reason, it takes out the spot.

The best thing I have ever used to remove any body fluids from fabric is Vivid! Not everyone carries it but Wal-Mart does. It's in a yellow bottle with a blue lid. Have driven miles for this stuff. I swear by it. Even removed old baby formula from old old clothes. Works wonders on any human type stuff!

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.

I'm a blood handler for our local blood bank, and frequently get spots on my pants or shirt. I take them ALL out with either cold water or hydrogen peroxide. Also at home I've used just plain moistened meat tenderizer.
Never, ever use hot water on blood stains. I always wash everything, except for stained whites that need bleaching, in cold water. They always come out clean.
