    DO NOT drink RED wine in the same room your quilting is in!!!

    Spilled red wine all over one quilt top and on 10 fat quarters (off white on white) and on 6 meters of fabric that is off white backgroud.

    What do I do now? Got it out of the carpet and off the wall but what do I do with the fabric?

    Try cleaning it the same way you cleaned the carpet.
    Wine is full of enzymes, so it should come out.

    Oxi-clean laundry booster (I think that's what it's called) or Boraxo have both been known to work wonders on such things.

    Soak it in your washer for awhile and see how much comes out. If necessary repeat.

    I've done this with mildew stains and they're even worse to get out than red!

    Soak in club soda...works on tablecloths!

    I would soak it in a solution of oxy-clean. I have used it for many, many stains with excellant results.

    I heard salt takes out red white.

    Thanks, I will go buy some Boraxo or OxiClean but remember I have been drinking wine all afternoon so will have to wait till after dinner to go to store. I guess I will soak in water for time being. Should it be hot or cold water or does it matter?

    Always use cold water Hot water will set the stain in some things

    Thanks, I have it all soaking now - used shaving cream to get it out of the rug. But, I used it all so need to get more of that too. Thanks for your help, at least with it soaking it maybe won't set.
