Sharpie White Paint Marker?
Sooooo, instead of grabbing my washable marker to mark on quilt
I grabbed a permanent marker (yellow). I was wondering if anyone has used a white paint sharpie marker before? They have a white one, which is what I would need. I have tried all the tricks to get the marks out but nothing has worked. I've tried dawn dish soap, vinegar, rubbing alcohol, Grandma's spot remover ( these were tried on a seperate piece not on the quilt itself)....yes I have tried everything...uggg...any help is greatly appreciated.

I got permanent black sharpie out of a quilt with rubbing alcohol. Took all of it out but I really had to saturate it. I'm talking pouring the alcohol straight on it, not just dabbing at it with a saturated cloth.
I would not use white permanent marker to try to mask the marks if the drenching with rubbing alcohol doesn't work. Without seeing a pic of the mishap to determine how large the mark and where it is located in the quilt it is hard to offer alternative ideas. But I would lean towards fabric paint before I would a white marker. The yellow will probably bleed right through the white and still show.

Here is the picture of the marks...they are now a bit more smeared since trying other things...so this was taken before any attempts were made

Try this method on a test piece of fabric before using on your quilt. Saturate the marks with hairspray and let set for a short period of time. Them put soap and water on a washcloth and rub the spot. I used this method to get permanent marker off my car upholstery and it worked.

I wouldn’t try any other things to remove the small marks. I would add a little more of the dark thread accents to cover the marks. Trace out the head on paper and try a little doodle above the eye on the paper to see if a feathery eyebrow will work. The neck edge just add some more feather accents to the bottom.

Tartan's idea would be my advice for the last option. I advise that you freeze! Don't do anything until Monday, and call the Sharpie people and see if they can give you nay advice on how to remove it. If its really a paint marker, I'd think that you'd have to use either mineral spirits or acetone to remove it. Since either of those could potentially cause more of a problem than you have, experimentation on a different piece of fabric is a must. I know, duh. In my defense, I have to remind you that I am trained to give answers to people like the one who put the stainless steel, insulated coffee pot in the microwave to heat up the coffee. Sooo, I leave no stone unturned.

I actually did that on a customer quilt. I crossed two parts of a pattern. On my request she supplied me with the fabric and I removed and replaced the past I had damaged. Now my permanent markers never come near my frame. Tough lesson
