As a lab tech we used peroxide to get blood out but I think someone told my it does not work with adrenolyn blood (you know blood when you are scared).
Interesting! So the key is to be relaxed when you're quilting...

I agree with WandaM. "Hydrogen peroxide also works to get blood out of fabric. I work with nurses and this is what they do when an accident occurs. I don't know about old stains , but I would definetly test it before using it on a quilt top! WandaM"
And it also works on old blood. Just may take a little longer with repeat applications. I've done it many times. I have not found it to affect the color of the fabric either. I also work in the health care field and speak from experience.
You are all having way too much fun with this thread. Another nurse here who always used SPIT on the blood spots on my quilt, and I guess it works or I'd remember it didn't!
I am a nurse and have no problem dealing with a multitude of EEEEWWWWs but I have a really hard time dealing with mouth issues (dirty dentures put me over the edge). My mother was an advocate of spit cleaning. IT'S ALL HER FAULT
I am SO GLAD to hear that I'm not the only one!! When my dear MIL was in the hospital with a broken leg, dealing with her dentures was worse than the diapers! EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW
It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter
That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived !
