As gross as it sounds, your saliva really will remove the blood. I pricked myself with a pin while putting the slightly off white binding on a quilt and out of instinct I licked my fingers and rubbed and it worked! I was a bit shocked but very, very happy!

Sooo, tell us, did you get it out? If you did, what did you use?

yep, your own spit will work if the blood is yours but not if it is someone else's blood. I have used this tip over and over and it really works.

I did spit on it....several times. Then I let it sit overnight. The larger spot, about the size of a thumbnail, had just really light brownish tinges so I just dabbed it with peroxide. I did the same with the smaller one. So spit and peroxide worked!

I agree with your own saliva. My Mom used to work in a drapery shop and that is what they were told to do.

I have been told by many quilters that if it is your blood, YOUR SALIVA, will remove it. Something to do with the enzymes. So, if I were you, I would try this suggestion. Please, if it works, let us know. Thanks.
