My girls have nap mats which have a canvas name label on them. When I tried to write their names on them with a pigma pen, it smeared and bled. I have used these pens for scrapbooking but never on fabric. Now that I have looked into it, I did not prewash them, let them dry, or heat set them. Basically, I did everything I shouldn't have!

Is there a way to remove the ink at this point. I tried a bit of rubbing alcohol and am in the process of washing them in hopes that some of it will come out. I don't want to dry them yet. I have Synthrapol too. Would this work?

Thanks,
Emily
