Kristi: maybe Oxiclean soak may help
Have you tired soaking your item in Oxyclean? It may be that you need to let your products work longer. or if it is a really old stain on linen it may be permanent.

Vinger baking soda borox or lye soap omish has lye soap
Another vote for Oxy Clean. If you don't that on hand and are staying home mix 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1/2 cup baking soda and you sort of make something similar. It works in a pinch.
Linen fabric is delicate and using Oxygen clean or bleach can damage the fabric. Enzyme cleaners are usually recommended or a dry cleaner...which you can't do right now. Here's a linen specific article that may help. http://www.linenstore.com/blog/how-to-get-stains-out-of-linen-tablecloths/
Do you have any idea what the stain could have been caused from?
Do you know what the fabric content of the line item is? For example, 100% flax, 100% cotton, rayon/cotton blend, etc. (The piece in the photo above in Debbie's comment looks to me to be damask, not linen. As they are different fabrics with different fabric contents, they do not respond the same to washing solutions.
Has the linen item already been washed and dried?
If so, unfortunately the stain may have already set to a degree to which it may be irreversible.
Try resolve carpet cleaner
If it's an old stain and the item has been in storage, putting it out in sunlight for several hours can lighten the stain. If not, an Oxiclean soak seems to be an appropriate choice.
To Flipturn: Damask is a type of weave, not a fiber. Made on special looms, there are linen, silk, rayon, etc. damasks.
