I use colored pencils to mark lines, washes out easily.
Good luck on removing the ink, even if it just lightens up enough not to notice. |
For fine lines get the fons and porter mechanical pencil. It makes a very fine line. I have only used the white "leads" and believe me it comes out, too well! I marked a lot of a quilt before starting to hand quilt it and all the marks were gone by the time I finished with my first hoopful. I love the pencil so now I mark each area just before I'm about to quilt it.
I have never had problems with white chalks coming out but I have had problems with yellows and blues. |

Wishing you all the best in getting the ink out. We all have to learn one way or the other and unfortunately it's usually painful.

:oops: :oops: I already passed on the lt. fluid. I just couldn't do it. I tried the rubbing alcohol and it highlighted everything well. Maybe when dry, it'll be gone!! lol. |
We all make mistakes but that's how we learn so really it's a good thing for all of us out here to pay attention too these types of issues that come up. I am always trying to figure out how to get marks off of things. It just stinks when it happens to something you really like. Lot's of ladies marked their tops with regular pencils because that is all they had and those marks are still on those quilts. It gives it more character and tells a story. There is always a sunnyside to a mistake.
