After it's finished you could "distress it" with some spray, but then again, you have to worry about the thread running. <br />Don't you just hate it when things like this happen? I'm so sorry! That is a huge pain. <br />Good luck with whatever you decide. It's a great piece.Lorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099740341363729893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36615958.post-3899846021395882772012-02-21T11:36:53.531-08:002012-02-21T11:36:53.531-08:00Try dabbing the stain with some bleach.

I've heard wonderful things about bleach pens, but never tried them myself.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380430583760279776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36615958.post-62849735261625344672012-02-21T11:28:09.811-08:002012-02-21T11:28:09.811-08:00Many years ago I finished a piece that had a stitc...Many years ago I finished a piece that had a stitch one-stitch-off somewhere in the middle. It looks OK, I guess, but everytime I looked at it, all I saw was that mistake. Now I always rip out my errors when I discover them. =)Sharon Kwilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204757096377140896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36615958.post-48512691180228364892012-02-21T11:14:15.886-08:002012-02-21T11:14:15.886-08:00It is such a beautiful piece Heather.
