Obviously the quiltmaker knew the marks where there. Obviously the people hanging the quilts knew the marks were there. I suspect the maker cried when the marks didn't come out but it was hung up for display anyway. I spent my time looking at the wonderful work and love that was put in the quilt instead of focusing on the problems.
