Get sewing machine oil out of your blocks?
This is what I did today.......Since the deal with dropping my pair of cars off to the upholsterer fell through I decided to spend the day in the studio. I am working on my Snails Trail blocks and I decided to go ahead an oil my machine up since it has been a bit since I have.
Well I was sewing the blocks and I got little oil spots on the fabric. I do not want to wash the blocks before I put them together and quilt it but will regular "Shout" or the "Advanced Shout gel" get it out when I launder it? Also this fabric is lightly used sheets that I picked up at the thrift store and they have been previously washed and ironed with TONS of starch.
What should I do?

I was working on my daughters car after the storms this past weekend when she played U-Boat captain :roll: and I got oil and rusty grease on my favorite shorts. They are a light khaki color almost white and I did not think I would get the oil and stuff off of them.
I used the Shout Gel and you can not tell it was even dirty!! So I am hoping it will come out because these blocks are a pain to do!!!

I can not say it enough AWESOME!! I just did that last week while quilting on an old linen cloth. I sprayed with Awesome, let is sit for a few minutes and rinsed the spot. Gone!! Beware, the Awesome will make the oil look pink for a while and then is all gone. Find it at the dollar store.
