    Yes.. The first thing I was taught in a "Beginning Quilting Class" was that saliva is one of natures best solvents and will remove blood spots when you prick your finger.

      I also heard it has to be YOUR OWN saliva. Someone elses' won't work. Is this true?

          I've heard that it must be your own saliva, something about the enzimes or something. Haven't had an opportunity to test this, thankfully!

            Wow, now this is a great tip! I am definitely going to try this! I have a terrible time quilting over seams. Even when I stab stitch very carefully, it always ends up looking wonky. This sounds like a great solution!

              I've just done a little practicing in the hand quilting and ended up doing exactly this. I came through to this section to see what I should have done. I'm glad I now have the TQS seal of approval!
