Go to the dollar store, and get this stuff called AWESOME, it works on everything!

Rubbing achohol is the only thing I know of to use. Next time you are marking use a lead pencil. I shows up really well and will come out easily. I have even left it in and still showed a quilt and won. Sorry about your boo boo.

washable crayloa markers have been used with great success. so sorry this happened to your quilt... :cry: :oops: :oops: As for quilting pens/chalk on the market, I love my Sewline....depending on the color of the 'leads' that you buy, it marks dark or light enough to be seen, you can get them in really fine point and they wash out really well. |
Try Carbona for ink. I've used it to get stains out I couldn't get out any other way. You can find it at WalMart and most grocery stores with the cleaning products.

Would it be possible for you to find a heavy dark thread and machine quilt over your ink lines? Look at your quilt-------the dark designs in the big blocks are not ugly even though they are ink. If it's not a huge amount of work, maybe even an embroidered backstitch might hide your ink. Even if it's a bunch of work, it might well be worth it to keep you happyy

My mother used to fix up childrens dresses and sometimes the repair was that it had ink on it. She used a cleaner called Lestoil and it seemed to work well. I'm not sure if it is still made, but it might be worth a try. Good luck

try rubbing alcohol...we use it at work to get ink marks off of our desks and clothing.

You need to be careful with some of the fabric marking pencils, as well. Several years ago I made a tote bag and used a yellow one to mark my quilting pattern and to this day, after multiple washings, the yellow pencil marks show.
Just tell people it is part of the design. |
I can't help you this time. But I posted a product for you in the main topic section. I found it last july at the quilt show.
I am so sorry this happened to you. |
