I didn't pre-wash my fabric and last night while i was machine quilting, i noticed a red tint to my machine...any suggestions on how to get that off?

TIA

Have you tried the easy first - sponge & soap? I'd also try one of the Mr Clean or Comet sponges - they seem to clean everything and I don't think they're abrasive.

OOPS should do the trick. :thumbup:

LOL, haven't tried anything yet, my first instinct was to come running to the boards LOL

what is Oops?

Alcohol may. Nail polish remover may./Regards, Dorothy

I use it all the time.

Would you find that at lowes or someplace like walmart/target...I have never seen it

You can get it at WM or just about anywhere. Its a small can, looks huge in the pic. ;)

Alcohol worked on mine.

lol...i will try soap and water first, then alcohol then if all else fails, i will go get some of that :-)

I used window cleaner when I got red stain in my dryer from fabric. Took it right off.

Ladies, it is a little early to be bringing out the gin! LOL!

But it's 5 o'clock somewhere? Or so Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffet say,lol!!

Non abrasive hand cleaner ?

Had the same thing happen to me. Used alcohol, worked great, but I wouldn't want to use it very often because they tell me it degrades plastic in the long run.

What about vinegar? Just a thought...

Maybe Awesome. You can get it at the dollar store.

I would try Awesome before Ooops, it is not as harsh :D:D:D

How about tying to wipe as much as you can off with a cloth dampened with plain water?

did you get it off?

they say that if you spit on stains, will loosen them up, try it

really!!!!

Saliva is a powerful solvent.

maybe its turning into a Janome Horizon!! :lol: :lol:

If you can find Fit Vegetable Wash, it will take it off and it's safe. It removed permanent marker from my textured white fridge door. I use that stuff for my kitchen cleaner. And it's wonderful to use to remove all the film from conditioners and soap from your hair. It's so safe you can drink the stuff.

Spit has enzymes in it to digest food so it take out a lot of stains.

That's called Mother's Magic
:-D

wow. i would never have thought to use it in my hair. but it makes since.

OMG I'm learning so much from this tread.

I would hold off on the vinegar since it sets some dyes. Before you start wiping the whole surface and maybe damage it, use a q-tip with whatever cleaner you are going to try. I'd try the water first (try the least damaging substance first then work your way down to the most). Always, test small first. Using chemicals of any kind can get unhappy results if you aren't careful.

Try a Mr Clean eraser. I some black marks from fabric off of mine with it.
