Literally just took this out of the package and decided to start it. take a few stitches and BAM, blood on a brand-new white potential table runner. Ugh. Could not figure out where it came from, but whatever. I am so annoyed with myself.
I bought this table runner from Annie’s. It just has some red and blue embroidery and I thought I could do something quilty around it. I don’t have anything red, white and blue for my table. Hoping I can get the blood out. It is not the first time I have bled on a project, but it is so white and not easily covered up (silently screaming).

I have quite a few table runners laying around…. Last year when I had my Neck surgery, I felt like I could not work on large projects, so I made a bunch of table runners. Now I have to get them quilted. I made a couple that are a bit southwest. If nothing else, they will make become Christmas gifts. I have at least 5 or 6 more. I like to quilt lines on these table runners because lines are easy and quick.
Happy Sewing

Get some cold water on it! That should take it out. Do not wash it out just use the cold water and then if it is still there use some dish soap! Good luck! Hugs

Fingers crossed that does the trick, if not those crosses are kind of chunky and a couple of extra ones to cover the stain and make it look like the crosses aren’t just in a line wouldn’t look out of lace

I think I got it but the stamp pattern disappeared a rs with water so it now looks like a hot mess. Ugh. Thanks.

It sounds weird, but spit on the blood stain. Your spit enzymes will take out your blood stains. You might have to do it more than once. Good luck.

You’re welcome. I was a nurse’s aid and hydrogen peroxide always got the blood stains out without damaging the fabric. Practical stuff.😃❤️

Spit works great , I always use that on my quilt when quilting because like you somehow I always manage to prick myself good somewhere along in the quilting progress. One just can’t wash a quilt in the hoop stage,so the spit ( kinda gross 😄)does it work until I do get it to the washer. Hydrogen peroxide works great too on whites,not sure if I would use it on colors. Good luck with whatever method you use!

Sorry that happened but thanks for sharing as I learned from the comments some great tips. I’ve gotten blood on something I was worked on when I stabbed myself with a pin!
