Advice please for how to remove mechanical pencil stains from a quilt.

Next time try these pencils for quilt marking. I've used them for 15 years to mark my quilts for hand quilting and wash the quilt afterward with no problems removing the marks.

They are also often available at Michaels. You will want a very good, sharp, handheld pencil sharpener.

This works on regular pencil marks so give it a try.
3 parts rubbing alcohol
1 part water
1 generous squirt of CLEAR dish detergent
Pour solution into a jar, tightly covered. This will last a long time.
When ready to remove the pencil marks, saturate a cotton ball with the solution and rub over the pencil mark. When dry, the pencil mark should be gone.

They are also available in the art section of Ben Franklin. I get mine there.
