For really stubborn stains, I make a paste with Blue Dawn, Baking Soda and Peroxide. Hope this helps

Years ago, I used a blue pencil to put marks on an embroidery piece. Our instructor told us to spray with Tonic Water. Marks came right out and have not returned. I am thinking that since you have tried so much, that you may have actually set the stains worse. I agree with taking out a small bit of quilting to see if the lines go away. Is all the quilting done in squares? If so, have you thought about taking pretty ribbon and sewing it over the quilting lines? Wish I could see a full picture of the quilt. If the lines are on the thread, then I think you may have taught us something. When quilting, quilt by the line and not on the line. I'm learning a lot as others answer this thread. Looking forward to finding out what really works.

I found this website very informational. Before I mark a quilt, I am going to get me some of this product and use only the pencils it has been verified as removing.

One more thought. Years ago I had this problem on a quilt Iwas hand quilting. When I had access to a front loading machine I had to wash it for other reasons and the marks all came out.

Good luck.

Thank you the article was indeed very informative. I sure wish I had read it BEFORE marking on my quilt. Oh well better late than never, right.

Your quilt is gorgeous! I'm really sorry that you have to deal with this. At the same time, I am learning here too...

I was the one who asked to see the quilt. It is just beautiful! I sure hope you get the marks out to your satisfaction.

One more thing to worry about...

I made the mistake once of using a stain removing product that had bleach in it. I had no way of knowing that. Looking at some of the products on my shelf, I saw that not all of them listed the ingredients. I thought that very unusual. I had to call the customer service number to find out why it was bleaching the spots I put it on, and sure enough, it had bleach in it. A clue can be if it says safe for all color fast fabric. So, test the stain removing product to be sure it isn't also a color remover.
