from my mother in law, a beautiful hand embroidered linen tablecloth with pulled thread work. it also includes 6 napkins and 6 tea napkins so that makes me think it belonged to her mother.
i want to use it this christmas, but it is stained, most likely from being stored. although the round stain suggests a coffee cup.
the linen is somewhat soft so i am a bit concerned that if i use the classical remedy of boiling it in soda ash the fabric might deteriorate. of course, bleach is out of the question, no, no ,no.
my question: does anyone know what to do? suggestions and ideas are most welcomed.thanks!
