What Do You Think Will Work?
 

I bought 3 large table clothes with an embrodery pattern stamped on them thinking I could wash them to remove the stamped design and then have good cotton for quilting. These clothes have some polyester in them. I washed them on a long cycle with soap and ammonia but the printing is still there. Does anyone have any other solution I could try?
I know when I am having a problem, this is the best reliable place to come.

I've never tried what you're trying . . . but you might have some luck, with spot remover. I've heard hairspray will remove ink stains, so you might also try that.

make a paste of Oxy clean and rub it on, then soak in Oxy clean and water. good luck.

I take it you don't want to embroidery the patterns?

Chlorine bleach and bright sunlight!

Chlorine bleach and poly/cottons don't always agree with each other. Ask me how I know! LOL

There was just a post on this very subject today

i dont think they were meant to come out--may be incorperate thm in a quilting design

Thanks for your suggestions and the link to the other post. The one item did run a bit so I am going to try the oxy clean on it and the others, I am just going to cut out the useable part and toss the rest. You certainly saved me a lot of time and work so thanks again.
