Fabric stained by the thread colour

Fabric stained by the thread colour

I felt so very frustrated when my hardanger work was stained by the colour of the thread itself. One of my works was stained by the red colour thread and another was by the variegated. The stain really spoiled my beautiful hard work and I am very disappointed. All these while I have been using DMC thread.

I shall be very happy if anyone could help me on how to get rid of the stain. Thank you.

Frustration

Like you had a piece ruined. It was a large Hardanger piece done in Purple Caron Waterlilies and Wildflowers. On completion I followed the washing instructions and carefully washed, by hand, with soap flakes. the red in the thread stained each corner, it was obviously the red in the dye that ran. After all the work it was very frustrating and I never made the bell pull up into a final piece.
