I have a quilt with stains from other blocks. How do I get the stains out and keep the other blocks from staining the remainder?

Depnds on the stain, use the Carbona Product that is suited for the stain and follow the directions. I have found that all the products treat the stains in which they are made for.

Each Carbona product works on individual types of stains. If you are treating one block that has a stain on it, then the Carbona has no effect on the other blocks that are clean. Are you thinking that the stain spreads once it gets wet?...if so, then treat everything that is stained with the carbona. If you are worried that the colors will bleed, then you will have to ask the manufacturer, but I have never experienced bleeding and I've been using Carbona for a long while. I first wet the stain with water..then pour a few of the granules on the stain and then carefully drip water on the granules and sort of make a paste and let it sit. I will come back and drip more water on the granules when they become dry. If you are using one of their products that comes in a liquid form, then put the liquid on the stain and just wait....after a while you may rub the stain. You may have to go back through your steps a few times depending how old the stain is and how much it takes to get it out,....this takes patience, but I think it is a good product. Have been using the stain remover for coffee for years. It also worked well in getting out mustard..that is a hard one.

Hello, SueBee. I have no idea what "wet blocking crochet projects are" so I asked my wife....and she didn't know either. She's into quilting and not crochet. So, what I did was this; I took 2 of the darker colored "tiles" and brought them upstairs to the kitchen. There I wet a white paper towel and scrubbed them both (pink and purple) and absolutely NO color came off into the towel. Assuming that your crochet work doesn't involve solvents, heat or much friction, I would think that they would be absolutely safe for your projects. I hope this is helpful. All the best.

Just throw thwm in with your other sheets. Hot water, soap & bleach if u want. And I also use fabric Softener.

You iron it on the back side of your fabric, then peal off the paper and iron it on to another fabric. I've used it for making appliques on quilts squares.It works great!

It stays sticky for a while. When I quilt, keeps all three layers together, and with all the manipulations it has never come apart. It is water soluble so any moisture could disolve it. Hope this helps

Yes - just know that the taks are small and you'll spend a lot of time pulling them out later - I would suggest using a staple puller the slide under kind that catch the staple/tak - then go over the quilt again and look for all the ends that don't fall out. I loved it for my larger quilts

I don't think you can get rid of the dark stain because it has penetrated the wood and not just on the surface. The mystery oil is what You needed to use the oil when your block was new so as to prevent your problem. However, use the oil to prevent further damage as it lubricates the wood and also cleans it. I use my oil quite often and my block looks good! I think your stain is there to stay!

They looses with use, but be careful, I have ripped holes in my quilt top on more than one occasion. It's best to rotate them toward the middle and then left up in the center. This is assuming they are already on a quilt.

That is mainly what I do with mine. I piece blocks and also drop the feeds and free motion quilt.

That is a problem I have never had. I would try pulling all the material out and turning it well and then putting it back. Leave it uncovered for a few days to dry out a bit.

I would spot clean with a mild cleaner. The fabric is similar to canvas, so I imagine you could take it outside and hose it down if the mess is bad enough, as long as you let it dry completely.

I agree with Gaby, burgandy/maroon. I am using chocolate and while it sounds weird it works! Pink or cream would be nice. I would take the quilt with you to the store. I found a place that sells the shams to match. Pauls home fashions.

This product may work....not sure. I used color remover RIT due to a burgundy fabric bleed and it worked great. It is a stain removal issue...not actually a color problem. Also I did use a stovetop hot water method which made a difference for my problem. It may be a question for a reputable dry cleaner to see what they can do. Or google....possibly white vinegar or some other natural method may work because of silk being natural fiber. Depends on the quality of fabric and how long the stain has been there.

Hi there, this is quilting fabric. It might be better to find some high thread count sheets. That would keep the fibers in... Not sure this would. Hope this helps.

Hold you duvet cover and the quilt at the edge you want held together and sandwich the material in between the clips and push closed the foam part should cover the clip. You should really use more then one set (at least 2 sets) for a full, queen size comforter. You can still feel them through the fabric when you sleep. But it is better then have the quilt bunch up inside the cover. I used 2 sets (8) on a queen size cover. Hope this helps.

My sugggestion would be to apply a little bit of light sewing machine oil around the "corners" and let it soak a bit....let me know if that works!

I used a steamer to block acrylic squares. The color of the blocks did not bleed through. My next project is an ecru colored cotton doily. I will be using the wet blocking method. I will let you know how it turns out.
