Old Trick for Removing Drops of Blood

Old Trick for Removing Drops of Blood
Today putting quilt layers together I pricked my fingers and blood drops appeared on white section of pattern! Quickly I cut a long piece of mercerized cotton thread, chewed it to get it soaked with my saliva and then dapped blood drops.
They disappeared almost immediately. I learned this trick in the 60;s when I worked in the alteration department in a
small specialty store in Boston. Still works after all these years - sort of like me!

Been doing that for years, a fan of the "spit method" lol. I always leave my DNA on everything I do, if not blood, spit, a little rub in my hair with a needle to make it slide better, licking the thread (also the eye of the needle will thread easier if it is wet). My kids say I don't need a label, in 100 years they will just scan for DNA and mine will be readily identifiable!
