Kathy,
How does it work? Does it create something like a bandage over the spot?

It sounds a bit gross but if you prick your finger and get blood on a piece you are working on your own saliva will remove the blood instantly!

I told you it was gross!!!

Gross sounding yes, Maureen, but it works great!! Karen

You're right it sounds gross! But it really works? How could I have gone this long and never heard that? Thanks so much!

Now, if we could just avoid the pricking in the first place or the slicing of the fingertip when changing a rotary blade.

I've never tried spit. "Tide to go" sounds more appetizing. Do you have to catch it right away with the saliva? I was quilting this afternoon and found a spot I hadn"t noticed at the time of the mishap. It's small and I figured I'd use a bit of "spray and wash" when the quilt was done and ready for the wash. I'd be willing to try the saliva method but don't want to be spitting on the quilt if it doesn't work on old stains. Gloria

LOL,spit !!!
Yeah, I'll stick with the "tide to go" marker! I just discovered this would be a "great item" to add to my sewing room. The spray & wash is agreat item also,they sell these in mini bottles too.
(Hey,what ever works for you!)

If you're going to use your own saliva, it should be done asap after it happens.

You must have had one of those mothers who used her spit to get the dirt off your face. I did! LOL

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

For some reason...I cannot stand the smell of the Tide marker....

I tend to spit....the enzymes in the spit digest the protein in the blood.

Spit works--I've used this method many times while hand quilting. I learned it from my "old timer" quilting friends in the 1980's. And I DO wash all of my quilts after quilting! :lol:
