It is a beautiful quilt. Have you tried white toothpaste and a soft toothbrush? Tooth paste is more than just for teeth.

Thank you so much, grandme26! That's a good tip! Toothpaste is an excellent remedy around the house! It will remove scratches from glass top tables or scratch marks from furniture, etc. but I did not want to consider using it as the ink had smeared and I knew very well it would take a strong agent to remove it. I didn't think toothpaste would do the trick but you never know til you try! No one had suggested it! Great tip!!

You are right mixing all that can be a little dangerous I suppose. We need to have your list of things to becareful of as a permanent fixture on the board. I have a passion for what we all do. Quilts are not only a link to our history but our future as well. They can sure brighten a day.

OMG, no! I'm doing FANTASTIC!! This was a piece of cake and I wasn't stopping til it was ALL out! Today I want to do some samples for all of you and show you test results. Hope to get the pictures downloaded soon. On a scrap, I want you to see test results of the effectiveness of the product (without the layering of many applications like I did). We want to see if WD-40 can really pass the test on its own. More later! Thank you, dear! You are a sweetheart!!

:D :D

I dont know if this will work but oxi clean works real good for stains I put it in cold water and let it soak for about 4 hours or overnight.

Your quilt is so pretty. If you can't get it out, use matching floss and cover the
ink trying to look like it was intentional quilting.

I once marked my quilt with a template pencil....what a mess! I used a product called Zout. It worked wonders! See if you can find that and try it. I don't know if it is available in all areas or not. But, you have a nice quilt anyway.

Well, folks, it ain't over til it's over! Sad to say, WD-40 failed to pass my standalone test on new scraps! I found a scrap in the scrap bag that was marked already on the back with a felt tip pen so that's our sample #1. Sample 2 and 3 I drew on with ink pens. Here are the results: (So Rubbing Alcohol is the new winner!!!) Very effective!!!

same thing after 10 min.! Just treated the last two lines only!

Sample 3

10 min. later after treated w/Rubbing Alcohol!!

same thing after 10 min. (almost ALL gone!)

30 min. later treated w/WD-40 (didn't do a thing! notice the box is saturated with it!and the ink just smeared)

Thank you, hagatha!! I love Oxyclean!! It's the best for set-in stains that have been there a long time, but many times Oxyclean has failed me~! Even after repeated treatments! Keep notes on what works best for you and your articles!

:D :D

That is great news to hear. Glad you are okay through all of that. Glad we didn't have to send the HAZMAT team in after you. You have some really sweet fabrics in that piece have you been collecting those for a while? I repair and restore quilts so fabric is always interesting to me.
