    If all else fails, try dabbing a some oven cleaner on the spot. I found a small tub of M30 Stain Remover at the dollar store and it works great for all my cooking grease stains. Takes the grease spots out of my clothes. It's a thick cream.

    The Greased Lightening didn't work either. My next step is Dawn Liquid. I think I may try rubbing it in with an old toothbrush. If all else fails I guess I can get some white fabric paint or a white marker and go over it. At least it would be less visible. I did find where the grease came from. There's an open area above where the presser foot comes out and I guess in bunching the fabric up to sew it must have rubbed against it. Now that I know where it came from I'll be more carefull next time.

    Goo gone works with lots of grease and label removal. My daughter ate a hotdog and got grease on her shirt. It had been washed and dryed several times before she brought it home. I put some on let it sit overnight and it came off in the next wash.

    This has been washed and dried a couple of times. When I tried the Goo Gone I didn't let it sit. I'll try letting it stay on overnight and see what happens.

    I use the cleaner mechanics use on my quilts. If you have a Fred's store near you this is where I get mine. It only cost a dollar for a tub of it. I buy 5 at a time,because all my quilting friends find out they love it to. Will not ruin the fabric.

    I use Shout Max, it's in a blue spray bottle. I spray it on, use a popcicle stick to scrub it in, then wash

    I haven't gotten it out yet. It's a little less noticeable but still there. I think I'm going to wait a day and try something else. I don't want to damage it more by repeated washing.
