I like that idea of the fabric markers - but I also believe once you wash the quilt will be less noticeable. Good luck.

I always cringe a little when people say they use Sharpies on quilts, or permanent markers. They really aren't and will bleed into other fabric and if writing with them on fabric they will bleed and get fuzzy and faded.

I know from experience and I only use Pigma Pens or other Archival pens for making seams disappear and writing. They are one thing that is worth the investment. just MHO.

Wouldn't it be sad for a memory quilt of any kind to be lost to fading and bleeding signatures after a few years.

How about using a sharpie?

Wash the quilt before you do anything. The offending stitches will probably disappear. If they do not, then try a black permanent marker.

I had the opposite happen to me. I used an expensive pigma pen to write a quilt label for my DD's quilt. The label has faded out. I had to do another one. The label I made for my niece's quilt I used a Sharpie thin line maker. That label hasn't faded at all. Both quilts are about the same age and the Sharpie label gets washed much more then the Pigma pen one.

I would use a fine tipped Sharpie.

This has been my magic solution to a whole host of similar "goofs". Have Pigma's in many colors.

I agree with Miss Peckish - all will be fine after it is washed.
