Grrr. I soaked my quilt, put Oxy clean in and soaked and the border design marks still won't come out. first i did rub with a wet rag, a lot. got most of the marks out but they are still showing.
the border is a dark rose. Fons' and Porters says to rub out with a wet rag. yep. didn't work. any ideas other than Oxy clean??? marks before rubbing with wet rag [ATTACH=CONFIG]169130[/ATTACH] |
Wow, mine have always come out with water. Could you write to them on their web site for suggestions? Makes me nervous now because I have a dark quilt I am about to quilt!
|
no hadn't tried to contact them. i'm sure they would say the same thing. rub while wet.
i used the white pencil,not the yellow. i have always had problems using yellow but didn't expect any with white. sigh. I just sent them an email anyway. i also ordered marking pencil remover liquid spray. probably won't help on this though. |
I know this is probably is a dumb comment, but was the fabric washed before you used it? If it wasn't, there might be a finish on the fabric (i.e. chemical) that is causing the chalk lines not to release. :? You really should contact them to see what they suggest. It's such a shame. :cry:

Oxi Clean works best on organic stains.

I would be careful with Oxi Clean - Everytime I use it - it fades my fabric
You might want to ask your LQS to see if they can suggest something. |
did you press your marks? (heat set)? visit fon's and porter's web site they have links for help.

Oh no...... I have used those white F/P chalk pencils to mark my baby Jane...now I'm scared! Good luck getting that out...I sure hope you find the cure..Post when you do, ok??
|
ah ha! no, i don't think the fabric was washed. darn!
and no, didn't press the marks. well i just finished washing it with Tide and more oxy clean.it looks fair. most of the marks are gone but not all. luckily it's a wall hanging for us. i'm not giving it as a gift to anyone. i found the rest of the rose fabric and threw it in the dirty clothes basket for a future washing!!! |
Maybe in time the rest of it will come out. I know some of mine was washed..some of it was not..drat...
