Don't know if it will work for you, try wetting the spot with cold water, then your saliva, wait a couple of seconds and then wash again, repeat if you need to.

Hope it works, let us know for future reference.
That happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Someone suggested that I use hydrogen peroxide to take it out. I just dipped a q-tip into the peroxide and rubbed it on the spot. The blood came right out. I was amazed and very thankful as it was a comfort quilt I had made for a lady with cancer and I was in a hurry to get it mailed to her.
