    Thank you, Bobby's Girl, for this nice tip!! Spray and Wash is nice but I found Oxyclean to beat that a mile. Oxyclean will remove old set-in stains! We can't get Biz powder in our location. Perhaps Naphtha Soap will work. It's always been advertised to get out the toughest stains! Will let you know if this works when I try. Thank you so much for this help!!

    :D
    For removing a stain, Oxyclean works, but using Spray and Wash on ballpoint pen ink isn't the same as removing a stain. I don't know what's in it that makes it remove ink, but it works. If the ink is fresh, just spraying it causes it to start fading.

    You might try glycerin. Rub it into the areas and let stand for 20 minutes. Then wash with dishwashing liquid. Hope you find a solution. It is a beautiful quilt and thanks for a lesson for us all.

    Ouch! So sorry this happened... and thank you for letting us know so we don't try it as well. I hope you can get the ink out--if not, I like Ditter's idea of re-quilting it with black or dark blue thread. Good luck!

    Have you used Zout yet!!! put it on and let it set for a few hours. Than lightly rub. I know it takes fingernail polish off because i had a wedding I did and one of the bridemaids got polish on the front of her dress and I used Zout and it came out . So sad Good luck.

    try rubbing alchol, I used it on my sons white work shirt the other day after he had washed and dried it with ink all over it, I thought for sure it was headed for the trash. let it soak for a bit, scrub. It looks like a mess but it worked for me. Don't let it dry, wash, then repeat process if needed.

    I have one more suggestion for you to try. Take it to the cleaners and talk with them. I had a uniform top years ago that I had forgotten to put the cap on a sharpy and the sharpy leaked into the pocket and spread. they were able to take most of it out and lightened what was left. My heart goes out to you.

    Wash it with a few tablets of steradent. That also helps when the colors, mostly red, have bleaded on the lighter fabric in a quilt.
