I have used a paste made of dishwasher detergent to get pen out of DH's dress shirts--they were permanent press, but some were all cotton. I would make a paste and leave it set for a bit, then rinse it out and repeated until it was gone.

I just did hand embroidery on a piece and because I did not want to use my light to trace I copied it from my printer then when finished put a small amount of detergent and an even smaller amout of bleach in a pan and everyhing but the colors washed out. I had even left the web site info on the bottom and now you would never know it,

If using a pencil, the softer the lead the better. Like a 3B or 4B, usually available wherever art supplies are sold.
