Cheap hairspray works on ink and I think it is because of the alcohol in it. Good luck, it is a beautiful piece.

If nothing else works Carbona sells an ink remover. It comes in a little yellow bottle and your supermarket should have it near the laundry stuff. I have not used it so don't know how good it is. But it is specifically for removing ink.

Instead of getting it out, you could disguise it by using tea bags to give a beautiful aged look to it!

The problem is the iron may have set the ink... It will come out... it is just finding the right cleaner/product :D:D:D

I just wanted to let everybody know that I bought and used the Awesome all purpose cleaner and it worked. Thank you very much for everybody's help. I never heard of it before and the lady at the checkout told me that they can't keep it in stock. All the people who used it ones are using it again. Thank you, thank you. Barb T

printer ink is NOT like pen ink...it comes off really easily...
you can soak in oxy clean over night...BUT did you wash your yellow fabrics before you sewed them?

I have never had the printer ink bleed like that, so not really sure how to get if off...without just washing the whole block!
