I got the opportunity to watch some judges actually judge quilts for a quilt show. There was a quilt there that had little blue dots all over it, which the manufacturer had put there as a guide to the quilting. It never washed out and I was shocked to learn how common this is. The judges said to NEVER buy a quilt already pre-marked because a lot of times the markings are permenant. The problem is that they are heat set and while you may not have done any heat setting, it could have been set when being transported in the back of a delivery truck, especially if it was transported in the hotter months of summer. I'm sorry to say this but it may be that the marks will never come out. :cry:
