Just as colors can run, so can fabrics "grab" colors to them. It's almost as if you used a dye. Maybe that's what is happening here. Hopefully, the alcohol or the new Tide will help. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Oh no...I can't offer any suggestions other that what has already been mentioned, but I do wish you good luck. That quilt is way to pretty to have something bad happen to it. You'll have a great story to to with the quilt when you get the ink out though. :D:

It didn't fade it at all but I have a hunch its because its a syncthetic fiber. It might work on your fabric too. Worth a try.

Wow! So glad it worked for you on that beautiful white carpet! Peroxide is always a good standby! It should work well on this ink! There are lots of great products to try!! Thank you so much, kristen0122, for sharing that tip for us!!

:-D :-D :-D

Go over it with a metallic thread. It'll look like it's supposed to be there.

Thank you sooo much, bjnicholson! You are right! I couldn't wait to try the Hydrogen Peroxide kristen used to get the ink out of her white carpet. So dabbed it with Qtips and waiting for results @the moment. Bleach it, baby, bleach it.

;-) ;-)

Me too! Am waiting to see the Peroxide remove it. If that doesn't work, I know the rubbing alcohol will. We love those chubby little minis! They look better without the ink on!! Thank you, mollymct!!! ;) ;) :D :D

That idea hasn't been presented yet!! I love it. What a great one that is!! It'll be last resort though. Need to get those stains out!! lol.
