Catherine Smith on Sep 03, 2013You can certainly try the fabric dye, you're probably not going to be able to match it, but you could go for a tie-dyed look. Perhaps use this elsewhere and get another for yourself?Helpful Reply

Carol on Sep 03, 2013Another way to go would be to bleach the entire thing, gently and slowly, until it's all white. Overbleaching will break down the fabric. Then dye it to the color you want. Or get it professionally dyed, which is the better way to go. There are some risks with doing it this way, but it beats throwing it in the trash. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Carol on Sep 03, 2013The stain looks like an angel looking to heaven. She even has wings. You may have your applique already, and just need someone to stitch around it. :)Helpful Reply

Judi on Sep 04, 2013I would try to find a dye as close in color as possible...mix it up and use a different piece of fabric that is close in same type as bedspread and try to match color by dipping and letting it dry, then laying beside bedspread to see how close......once you get the right color....I would use a sponge brush(paint type) and dip in color, then paint it onto spread. Allow each seemingly matching color to dry completely and then paint again if not dark enough and dilute with water if too dark. Don't know if this will work but I'd do that before trashing bedspread.....Just my thought! Good Luck! I hate it when I ruin something I really like! (Be sure to put something under bedspread when you paint it to absorb color so it doesn't bleed through....Helpful Reply

Karen Kelso on Sep 04, 2013In the dye section, it has a box of color remover ( not as harsh as pure bleach) Remove by directions. Re dye it to your favorite color. Once you dye it, soak over night in vinegar water to set your color or it will get lighter each time you wash it! Good luck with it!Helpful Reply

Cathy Maxwell on Sep 04, 2013You can try to dye it, but it will need to be a slightly darker color. Make sure that you use enough water and dye to do the job. If you don't you will end up with areas that are not colored. Make sure that you agitate it thoroughly. I use at least 3 wash cycles and make sure to move the item around by lifting it out and putting it back in, in a different orientation. Then as Karen says, soak it in vinegar for 24 hours to make sure that the color fixes. Be sure to use white vinegar. I have had trouble with cider vinegar coloring lightly colored articles.Helpful Reply

Patricia Miller-Darrow on Sep 04, 2013HOW ABOUT DOING APPLIQUES ON THE BLANKET? YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO SEVERAL OF THEM TO MAKE THEM APPEAR AS THOUGH IT AS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY AND IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE IN A RANDOM FASHION ALSO. MAYBE MATCH THE APPLIQUES TO YOUR CURTAINS. JUST A THOUGHT.Helpful Reply

Desi Wilson on Sep 04, 2013Try this. 1 tsp Dawn for dishes, 3-4 TBLS hydrogen peroxide and 2 TBLS baking soda. See if that works for you.Helpful Reply

Gloria Duy on Sep 04, 2013Depending on where the spot is...if it is near the foot of the bed you could lay a quilt or throw there. It would be like "I meant to do that."Helpful Reply

Karen on Sep 04, 2013Make other similar looking "accidents" all over the bedspread so that it looks like it's supposed to be that way.Helpful Reply

Desi Wilson on Sep 10, 2013I thought you a solution was needed for getting out the stain. I gave a recipe, I found on some blog and it really works! Mix the above all together, put it on the stain and gone... That's what it's for and that is what it does. DesiHelpful Reply

Carol on Dec 05, 2014I agree with using Rit color remover in the whole quilt and then readying it to a light blue. If you have matching pillow shams, do the same to them so all pieces match.Helpful Reply
