I taught a free motion class, a student brought a small quilt to ask, How do you remove a frixion pen mark on a quilt? It has been ironed off, was stored in a room that got cold, now some of the marks returned. It does not iron off, it has been washed a couple times and still has not come out.

She was told by another teacher that it won't come back even when it gets cold...because she tried it and put it in the freezer and hers didn't come back.

I feel bad for her, it would be upsetting to me too.

I used it once years ago on dark, solid fabric. It left a white mark after ironing it off. So I don't use it. I also heard horror stories of quilters using it, sending it to a show. It got cold during shipment and the marks returned. But I haven't heard what is the best way to remove the marks when they returned.

Thanks!!
