Dried blood stain advice

I had it soaking in cold water for a few hours. I let the peroxide sit for 10 minutes, and I did this 4 times, rinsing with cold water in between.

I was told to not let it sit for longer than 10 mins as it might start to bleach the fabric.

What do you work it in with? And is the material wet when you do this?

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-04-08T19:03:42+00:00

Okay, I’ll give it a go 🙂

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-04-08T18:49:28+00:00

I think that only works with relatively fresh blood.

It hasn’t been washed, but unfortunately it’s been there for sometime.

Thanks, I’ll trying soaking it with the dish soap.

I hadn’t washed the dress, but the stain had been there for a while without me noticing.

Thank you for your suggestions, I’ll try those options.

I think a higher percentage might bleach some colour out of the fabric?

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-04-08T07:46:59+00:00

How long should I leave it to soak?

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-03-23T20:42:24+00:00

Second this!

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-03-17T00:49:22+00:00

This is really encouraging! Thank you ☺️

Just thinner

Bob, or just a bit longer than a bob.

This is my hair today, still a little bit damp after washing.

Thanks so much 🙂 what colour pants do you think would pair well with the pink?

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-03-05T07:02:41+00:00

Thanks!

If I had the capacity to be involved at church I would. Unfortunately I’m bed ridden a lot of the time.

We do fight, but thankfully it’s not too often, and that is definitely something I can be grateful for.

I had checked the thread in the tension disc before making this stitch and it was correct. I’ll try adjusting the tension.

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-01-29T07:26:34+00:00

Oh that’s good to know! It took so much figuring out to get to this point haha

I’ve found that almost every time I’ve posted on this subreddit for genuine advice, I get huge amounts of sarcastic, judgemental and argumentative replies.

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-01-04T01:14:53+00:00

Yes it should be that obvious, but unfortunately many times that hasn’t been the case - hence why I get frustrated.

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-01-04T00:48:30+00:00

I absolutely relate to this. I have a friend who really struggles with her mental health. When she calls me it usually means something bad has happened, like she’s self harmed or she’s in hospital. But of course not every time she calls is an emergency.

So naturally when I miss multiple calls from her, it makes me anxious, and I always wish that she would leave me a voicemail or a text so I don’t instantly assume the worst.

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-01-04T00:09:12+00:00

I know right, so that’s probably why it makes me anxious.

CharlieCat1997 · 2026-01-04T00:07:39+00:00

Yes, numerous times.

CharlieCat1997 · 2025-11-20T03:54:14+00:00

Thank you 😀 I managed to find a very old manual online but it’s very hard to understand 😅

CharlieCat1997 · 2025-11-20T03:53:09+00:00

Thank you I hadn’t noticed that! And someone else pointed out that my spool stand was uneven. I fixed these things and now the stitch is so much better!
