if you do get it out, please let us know how you did it because trust me, you're not in that boat alone so stop beating yourself up, hopefully the quilt is for you and you can live with it. My grandma used to say "live and learn, die and forget it all!"

I am very surprised to read that the ink did not iron out. I worked on a huge king size quilt - took me over 2 yrs to hand quilt. The ink disappeared w/ no problem after 2 yrs.

I'm so sorry to hear that - my heart aches for you.

Try a paste of baking soda....can't hurt.

I am so, so sorry. Don't have any ideas but I hope you find something that works and at least dims the marks so that they don't show. That is such a lot of time to be so disappointed in the outcome.

How sad. I have a beautiful quilt with pencil marks and cannot get them out.

I am so sorry to read your problem, I feel your pain. I am not sure if it will work now - as you have tried so many other remedies, but I have had some success getting marks out of fabric with baby wipes. Worth a try. I do hope you find a resolution. Hugs from the UK.

I am so sorry but am very thankful for the information. I'm about to mark a very special quilt and I know it will take me a long time to work on it. I was going to use the friction pens... now I won't.

I used RetroClean and soaked my quilt and got all sorts of nasty off, from rust to smoke, animal to water marks, and pencil and ink marks. Maybe this will work for you. I soaked one quilt that the colors had bled and it even removed this but it took 2 days. Hope it helps

I'm so sorry this has happened to you and your quilt. Once you have tried as many "remedies" as you think you can, why don't you just chalk it up and enjoy it. It has a very interesting story.
