    I'm sorry for your problem. I surely hope you find a solution! I can only imagine how frustrating this is! I haven't had this problem, yet! I hope I don't, but anything's possible.

    Have you called the manufacturer to see what they recommend? YOu could always embroider something over the marks for that part of the quilt.... I am hopeful that a solution will be found!

    So sorry and we have all made mistakes. If you have a hidden spot, try synthrapol on a Q tip on a line and see if it will lift the pen marks. It helps to suspend loose dyes in the wash and maybe it might help? BE CAREFUL IT DOESN'T REMOVE COLOUR FROM THE FABRIC!

    Sorry to hear about the ink stains - tough to deal with!!

    Do try calling the manufacturer for info - if you can get the 'Material Safety Data Sheet' (MSDS) for the product from the manufacturer you might be able to figure out what would be effective to eliminate it. The MSDS is a document that contains information on the chemical nature of the product (what it is made up of) and its physical and chemical properties - could also include info on clean up in case of a spill. The manufacturer has this info as it is required by law to have in in the factory - whether they will share their "secret ingredients" is another story. Haha - back to chemistry class!

    I have also had success with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on permanent marker.

    Be very careful with Synthropol - it is an extremely strong chemical.

    Good luck with this and do post how you do - Hopefully some of the suggestions will work for you

    I think it would be funny if peanut butter actually worked.

    I think it is for getting gum out of hair. I don't know.

    If nothing else works, try using dishwasher detergent as a paste (or use the gel kind). I have used it to get ink out of polyester dress shirts that has sat a while and it does a beautiful job.
