    I have had an accident have spilled red wine on my partially completed cross stitch. It is a green aida. Can anyone recommend anything to remove the stains

    I was at a party where someone spilled red wine on a white table cloth and immediately poured white wine over it. Apparently this would bring the red stain out.

    I think I have also heard that soda water helps.

    Do you have a spare piece of aida that you could try these remedies out on to make sure they don't take the green out of the fabric?

    Hello

    I can vouch for the white wine - had the same thing happen to me - you have to pour it pretty much as soon as the spillage occurs but if its only a small piece I guess you could soak the area in white wine.

    Hope you sort it.

    Maybe we should do what my son does when he sits outdoors with a drink. He pours his wine into a stout empty jam jar and screws the lid on in between slurps.

    Very Elegant ! But what a great idea for the Sloe Gin while you are on the coach in Germany !

    With the amount of stitching we have to do on the coach while on holiday, there isn't going to be much time for drinking the old sloe gin! However, thats a really good idea, but everybody is going to have to bring their own jam jar with lid, - I clank enough when I've only got the gin with me!
