I tried spritzing water on it to remove the marks...nothing happened. Then spray-on stain remover. The marks on the bottom have faded some, but not these. I can’t wash it because it’s not bound or quilted.

The only thing I can think of is to pick out the stitches and do the stitch over in a darker and slightly larger stitch, unless someone has a better suggestion. I tried to upload a pic but it just wouldn’t go.
