Lots of good ideas here! I made a baby quilt, probably 5-6 years ago, that I used a ball point for drawing circles, then sewing muslin onto it for a turned appliqué (I'm sure there is a term for this..). I was done with it, quilting and all when I realized that some of the ink was coming through. I saturated it with hair spray and washed it...I think I did that 3 times before it was totally removed. That quilt had a lot of work in it and it was a gift, so was determined to get it fixed!

I started with what I already had, after reading these replies. I did start with the iron when I bought it, but no luck. So I started with Tide, Ajax dish soap, and alcohol. All 3 worked. They all got the ink out. But what I found to be the fastest and easiest with these was to draw over the lines with Tide and a q-tip. Let it sit for a minute or two, then spay lightly with a spray bottle of water, then go over it with a nail brush. Then I washed it on the gentle cycle and hung it to dry. The raveling isn’t too bad, and it is now ready to appliqué, on my next days off. Thank you for all the help.
