The quilt means a lot to me, my grandmother (now deceased) made it for me when I was a teenager.
I need some advice on how to get the stains out. I have tried Arm and Hammer laundry soap and also Milton sterilizing solution. Some of the stains have lighted, but they are not gone.
Also, we have to file a damage claim against the moving company and I need to figure out how much the quilt would be worth. As I said before I am in Germany, so my options are limited to the internet or via telephone. To me the quilt is priceless and irreplaceable, but I have to come up with a monetary value. Any suggestions?
Thanks

First, welcome to the board!
I am sick over your problem!! Movers have done a lot of damage with me also but a quilt?? How frustrating that people don't realize how important quilts are to us.
In my case they were breakables and some antique chairs so I sent in the amount I paid and was reimbursed. No amount of money can replace your quilt.
I hope you find a solution :)

Welcome from TEXAS and condolences from the heart. I use Spray and Wash on the areas and it does a good job, too. We're all sad about this damage. Hope it all works out for you. Glad to have you as part of the group!
