I bought a quilt at an estate sale that was old. It had pencil lines on it still. I use it and had washed it several times when 1 time I put some OxyClean in with the laundry soap. It took out the lines! This quilt had been washed I don't know how many times before I got it and at least 4 times by me prior to the OC. Give it a try...can't hurt!Diannia
