I had iron stains on my portable ironing pad (I know it is not the same but). Bleach, dawn, nothing would take it out. I finally took some lemon juice to it and put it in the sun. You might try that on your scrap. Might not work, but who knows til you try it.

I found this thread in which Colonial Patterns suggests placing the piece in direct sunlight to remove transfer ink:

A couple of posters in that thread list many things that did not work for them.

Have you tried peroxide straight from the bottle?

When I hand embroidery, I stitch on one or 2 threads on the outside to cover the ink line. My mother and grandmother always accused me of going outside the boundaries but they never saw my lines of transfer. It also helps if you are able to use an extra ply of floss.

Is the fabric thin enough to put a piece of pink behind it? Might camafloge the transfer a little.

I love Aunt Martha's transfers - actually, it is the only kind I buy. I use them for making dishtowels and giving the set of seven as as gift. I wash them in warm water in laundry soap (liquid) and rinse in cold water and it always comes out. Have never had a problem, and as a matter of fact, I thought they came out in the wash.

I hope you can get the transfer out, but if you don't, the person that you made the gift for will know that it is a home crafted item made with love and care. Edie

The only transfers I have washed out are the blue ones like Jack Dempsey. I have use the iron on ones for a long time, and they have never washed out. They are covered by the thread or the liquid paints. They are made to use multi times and the more times you use the transfers, the lighter they get.

Seems like the answer is: Do not use Aunt Martha's Designs.

She wouldn't want the transfer out until after she had completed them.
You have to realize some of the options suggested here would totally ruin the fine embroidery threads...

This is very risky because peroxide damages fabric. See how Leah Day ruined her beautiful wholecloth quilt with peroxide:
