Re: [h-cost] removing blod stains
Or buy some of those little glass discs that fit over the candle (bobesches)! My china is blue and white and I love to use blue candles; my cloths are embroidered linen, crochet, and the 'army' model of linen squares and oblongs set with lace insertion and bordered with lace...all hand made. I used to use only white candles which are far more formal than my dinner parties seem to be.

Re: [h-cost] removing blod stains
I don't know about more expensive fabrics but I've used regular shampoo to remove blood from clothing. There was a lot of blood - I was at the scene of a car accident involving a small child that these men just pulled from the vehicle and set down at the side of the highway. She had a cut on her head, which bleed a lot. I held her, putting pressure on the cut until the emergency people arrived. I ended up being soaked through because of rain and blood. Still a handwashing with shampoo removed the blood from one of my favorite sweaters. I haven't had to test it on needlework or something I was sewing, so I don't know about smaller patches alex On Dec 13, 2007 1:29 PM, Leif og Bjarne Drews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I remember i saw a tv programme from the workshop at Chanel where all the work of the couturieres was shown.

RE: [h-cost] removing blod stains
Depends on the fabric, I think. I work mostly (embroidery-wise) on linen and cotton. If I see the blood spot immediately, I wet it with (eew) saliva - your own will dissolve away your own blood. (My grandmother taught me that...G) For stains a little older, I CAREFULLY wet with hydrogen peroxide, and rinse, and repeat until stain is gone. Of course you want to know ahead of time that this won't fade/harm your fabric- I'm an obsessive tester, so I try all this stuff out on spare fabric, flosses, etc, before I start a project.

RE: [h-cost] removing blod stains
Hi, I remember having heard that blood stains can be removed with milk, but I don´t know if it works. And it´s probably not done at Chanel, because it might leave marks on silks and such. Like Liadain said, saliva works well for fresh spots. Some dressmakers use a long thread of basting cotton, chew it a bit and use the wet cotton to wipe away the spot.

RE: [h-cost] removing blod stains
I am a nurse and do get spattered with blood on occasion. Hydrogen peroxide works very well in most cases and has saved many of my shirts. It works well for both fresh and old blood. It froths up when first applied and the area will become warm. I rinse well with cold water then launder as usual. On cotton and cotton/poly I have had no problems with fabric damage. I have never tried it on silk, linen or wool. -Kathy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 20:29:46 +0100 CC: Subject: [h-cost] removing blod stains I remember i saw a tv programme from the workshop at Chanel where all the work of the couturieres was shown.
