    Default Woo Hoo!!! Success :)

    Woo hoo Got out the coffee stains on my quilt top. I stitched around the perimeter, to defray fraying, used shout advance, got the spots really good, shout color catcher with oxy boost, and just went for it. Was scared to take it out of the washer, but IT WORKED. Stains are all gone. Now I can be happy again. Want to thank everyone for their advice tho.

    Good deal. Glad it worked. Now, keep that coffee away from the work station!!!!

    That's great...so happy it worked. Once my Mom washed some spots off a quilt top before it was quilted and hung it on the clothesline to dry. It was a breezy day and the wind unraveled the quilt to the point she had to remove and replace most of the outer blocks! I'm always spooked about things that happen before a top is quilted - so glad your dilema turned out so well!!

    That is the reason I stitched all the way around the outside. Musta been a sign from God, cuz after it was washed one of the seams came apart. Since it is not quilted already it will be an easy fix.

    I am happy for you...good thing you stitched all around it...now no beverages or food in the work station....also for a good laugh one time I set my iron too close to a candle...melted wax on iron...didn't see it until too late...candle was Christmas Red...and landed on the only white fabric in quilt top (custom order to boot)...I quickly learned how to applique and set a block of the backing over it...was able to remove wax but not the Christmas red...no one was the wiser and advised client that was so she would know the sides from the top and bottom!
