Goop removes marker stains
In an insane moment of inspiration, I used a washable marker (the Crayola kind) to mark quilting lines thinking "washable." No surprise to some of you, they aren't completely washable and left a residual trace of color. Following my lead, my roommate also tried one, but she didn't wash hers out for YEARS, thinking it wasn't going to come out anyway. Well, online searching suggested Go Jo, or Goop, the wonderful hand cleaner for mechanics. IT WORKED! So, for those of you who've used marking tools that didn't wash out, try GOOP. Good luck!
