    Dear friends,
    I've been quilting a project with a red backing on my sewing machine and the dye has rubbed off and stained my machine. Do you have any suggestions for removing the problem?

    Thanks,
    Mrs. Bee

    Welcome to the board Mrs. Bee!!! :wink:
    I would try Greased Lightning. My mom swears by it, and it really is a terrific product. If you can't get it, maybe try Soft Scrub with Bleach or a mild solution of bleach water. Just be sure to clean it off really well so there isn't any residue left behind! :wink:
