washable crayloa markers have been used with great success.
so sorry this happened to your quilt... :cry:
I can't stand what they have on the market! None of it is for fine lines like I love. Do they make water soluble pens? If so, they probably are not fine line enough for me. I've always gotten the ink out before with hair spray.

:oops: :oops:

Try something called De-Sol-it. I purchase it at Wal-Mart and it took red ink out of my black & white quilt. It has also taken motor oil out of my husbands shirt that had been washed and dried several times.

Ink pens work best for me on wrong side of dark pieces. I used some on the quilt I am quilting and finishing up now. Some of the ink got on some of the white, I intend on using hair spray and shout.
Dittter has a good idea, use dark thread to quilt over it.
