My life is ruined. This was a gift for a dear friend and I had hand embroidered flowers using silk ribbon. I'll post a picture if I don't shoot myself first. is there anything I can do!
Call Fons and Porter company and ask them |

Thanks for all the help and support. I guess I had my first quilting crisis - had to happen. I also raise orchids and the saying is you aren't an orchid hobbyist until you have killed 100 orchids!
I will run out and get some oxyclean for next time. What an ordeal! I scrubbed it threes times - finally with bleach and it lightened but you can still see the marks so I'll just have to embroider some vines on it. Can't subject it to any more washing or I'll destroy the silk ribbon. For picture, see posting above "Washable graphite pencil...Update" Beautiful work! |
When I had trouble removing quilt lines, someone suggested the Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. It did help. It is worth a try but try it on a scrap first.

have you tried synthrapol to wash the quilt ?
|
Try this 6 TBS rubbing alcohol, 2 TBS water, 2 or 3 drops of clear dish washing soap. Put a little on the tip of a wash cloth and rub the pencil mark if it doesn't come right off try it with a little brush (I use an old toothbrush)

Amway pretreated is wonderful! Haven't found anything it doesn't get out. U can buy it online! Love it!!

I did a test...
marked fabric ironed~ink gone put in freezer~ink returned washed fabric~ink gone dried fabric~ink gone put in freezer~ink DID NOT RETURN let thaw~re-ironed the ink was gone after I washed the fabric. The following BLOG entry, discusses one case in which FriXion ink would NOT come out. As others have said, always test first so that there are no surprises. |
