Rub good...now look at the tissue..see any pink/red on it...IF you do then be sure to let the quilter know that you have a possible bleeder in there so she does not use anything "WET" to possibly remove markings, or to spray starch before quilting, etc....NO liquid must come near that quilt top..not even STEAM!
