Place a terry towel rag inside of the ink stain. Saturate the stain with rubbing alcohol, agitate it into the fiber and blot with another rag as it loosens the ink. Continue doing this until the ink transfers out of the fibers into both of the rags, pre-spot with Resolve, Zout, Shout or spray n wash then launder as usual with your regular detergent.
"The Terry Towel is the secret. You need something for the transfer. Just try to stay away from a pen which is marked permanent. You will never get it out. It only becomes lighter with each washing. My husband was a USPS employee and was constantly coming home with ink stained shirt pockets. Believe me ladies it works.
My little mini that was stained purple is now smiling and tickled pink!
:D :D :D ;) :oops:

If you haven't put it in a dryer try an artist brush clearner. There is a package you can purchase in craft store like Michaels or Art Supply (or an artist friend) that has:
1. Kiss off to remove just about everything.
2.The Masters Brush Clearner
3. bar of Masters hand soap. This runs about $7.00 or so.
An acrylic artist pink brush cleaner that is liquid is also good.
I have successfully removed dark brown dried acrylic car model paint for a pale beige carpet. My grandson and friend used cardboard and newspaper to protect but it just somehow got on the carpet. I was visiting and ran for the emergency kit yelling I can get it out -- and I did.
It will take a little slow work but it is worth a little more time to save your wonderful work of art.

I, too, like a very fine line for marking. I've been using the Fons & Porter marking pencil. It has two different kinds of "lead", one white for dark fabrics and one dark for lighter fabrics. The marks come out just by brushing...no problem. You might consider using this rather than ink. Hope one of these suggestions work. My DH gets ink stains in his pockets, so I'll be checking back to find out what works best! Good luck!

LOL - not laughing at your mistake - laughing cause I did the same thing only with pencil which was suppose to come out -- so I just called it a desgin element and gave it someone who didn't know any better - they loved it...and so did the baby......and should the quilt police put you in jail you'll have something fun to do!!!!!
