Sorry to hear your marks won't come out. I used to have a formula that someone gave me to erase pencil marks but not sure where it is. I will go looking. I am thinking it was rubbing alcohol and water but not sure. I bet someone on this board will give you a great solution. Good Luck

A lot of quilters find that pencil washes out when the quilt is washed, especially if they were drawn lightly. Try marking a scrap of fabric the same way and wash that. Also check on Google.
So sorry for you! Please post if you find a good solution.

Try washing it in the machine. If the marks don't come out - don't dry it! You can 'scrub' with a bit of dishwashing detergent and an old toothbrush if they are really stubborn marks. If you've been really heavy-handed (as I've been known to do) you might only be able to lessen them but should not be overly noticeable after numerous washings.

The one and only time I ever used a pencil, it would not come out in the wash. A friend lent me her bottle of Sew Clean to remove the pencil marks, and it did work. Needless to say I bought my own bottle of Sew Clean, and it has helped me a lot since then.
