Tell her to put some thread rolled into a ball, put it in her mouth and get it wet with saliva. This is if it is a small place. And dab it over and over . I think the enzymes [i think] in the saliva will take it out. Otherwise listen to the other wise women and men on here.

This works because enzymes in blood and saliva are same

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.

hydrogen peroxide will remove blood stains. I'm surprised that your grandmother does not know that.

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.

Learn something new every day. Of course, spit is often my emergency "cleaner" anyway since it's always handy.

I am a nurse, and we always used peroxide. Works every time. The spit works, but it takes a lot of spit. Hope she gets better quickly.

I too find Oxy Clean the best stain remover ever. I use it for everything.
