Oh...I am so sorry this happend. How frustrating all the work you went through AND the price of supplies.
Here....I will cry for you so you can stop now.

I don't suppose that helped did it.
I have used dishwasher soap mixed with a little oxyclean to remove stains. Dishwasher soap has more phosphorus in it which is supposed to help loosen stains.
It works great for similak stains. Maybe it would work for ink.

I had this happen to me too, mine was pencil marks and I tried everything and no luck. I hope you the best in getting the ink out of yours!

Had an accident with ballpoint ink, luckily on the back of a quilt. Used cheap "Kroger" nail polish remover and it all came out! Worth a try! Good luck!

What a day this has been, I haven't stopped thinking about this dilemma all afternoon. I had a meeting this evening and couldn't wait to get home and find out what the results were after the last washing. Thank God for WD-40. I have been stressed over this poor little block. You brought it back to life again, Yippie!!!

Ok Ok so you made a mistake its still very pretty even with the ink mark in it and if you cant get the ink out just put more innk on some of the other part to amke it look like it was in the design

I use, hand sanitizing gel like Purell or "no name" brands work too, put it on then use a toothbrush to scrub - then try washing

it has worked for me on my son's white and coloured shirts, for wine, coffee and blood

if this does not work - try shaving cream and a toothbrush,(not gel type shaving cream) foam type works best

not sure what else to try because both of these take out pretty much every stain I have ever had

Thank you so much, Kitsie!! Acetone is a great stand-in for stains!! I wanna go try some now. It's so strong it's bound to remove anything!! Will let you know if it takes the rest of it out. Hopefully so!

:-D :-D
