When a designer has a problem with something "sticking out" in a room, they incorporate it rather than try to hide it. Why don't you do that with the pen? Get a dark thread and quilt over it so it becomes part of the design! It will look much better. People will think it was an intentional part of the quilt and you will remember...forever...not to use pen! (Then you can laugh rather than feel badly about it. Life has too many other things to be unhappy about. This isn't a problem. Enjoy it, treasure it and make it a proud part of your design. Been there. Done that!)
