    I was told to soak a stained antique quilt topper in Biz to remove the stains.

    How long should I soak?
    Warm or cold water??

    Im afraid of tattering the ends even more.
    I was told to roll it up in a sheet, tie it off in sections and wash it that way.
    Any tips/suggestions on that?

    Im half tempted to just turn the edges under and finish them off on a sewing machine (terrible?)

    Fabric was meant to be washed. Older fabric can be fragile.
    Biz or Borax.
    However, I would only use cold water if you decide to do it.
    This looks like bleeding color from the red. Is it?
