I am sure it was not amusing at the time but the mental picture I got of this situation just made me giggle.
OP I can't imagine how awful you must feel about this. I know I would be freaking out big time. If you have to replace the 3" square I recommend appliqueing over it rather then trying to rip and re-piece it in. I had a client quilt where my timing went off on my machine, the needle broke then before I could stop the machine the broken needle came down on the quilt and made a hole. I got another scrap of the fabric from my client and appliqued the patch right over the existing patch. No one can find it.
In the future I would not use press 'n seal and never ever sharpie. Press 'n seal and sharpie can also transfer the ink into your thread and the press 'n seal is a real pain to pick out between stitches. also I have heard internet tales of it gumming up machine works. I would use tracing paper and a water soluble marker instead. Or invest in some golden threads paper which you can also mark with water soluble marker should the worst happen.
