I have been using the Clover Powdered Chalk Markers with no problems until I used the YELLOW one. I used it to mark some design lines on 3 of my blocks & they refuse to come out. I have tried everything & they are still visible. This is a quilt that I am donating for a local Charity Breast Cancer Golf tournament. I am so frustrated. All that work & now these lines are still showing. My DH says he can't see them but men just don't see things the way we see them. They have faded a bit but they are still there. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to how I can remove these marks. I have used an eraser on them & that helped a bit, used baking soda & now it is in the wash after SOFT scrubbing them with some water & Dawn dishwashing soap. Any help would be appreciated.
I did try the Magic Eraser with no success but maybe I didn't try hard enough. I was so afraid it might take some of the fabric colour out BUT I did try Oxiclean MaxForce, which is in a spray bottle at WalMart. I gently brushed the lines with a soft, well worn toothbrush & hooray, success. That's after 3 washings & trying several other options.
Thank you ladies for all your help - I just love this forum. I can now donate this quilt without feeling bad about the lines.

Tks Carslo, I will remember to try Magic Eraser on fabric at another time (hopefully it won't happen again). So good to hear from you.
