It depends on the age and the manufacturere. for years they were printed with a hot press method and didn't come out unless they were washed and bleached frequently.
Did the info indicate the ink was a wash out ink? Some ompanies the past few years have printed in a wash out ink.
dIt sounds like you have the head print method and it most likely won't come out. Sorry

I finished my quilt at 1.30 today and put it in my bath tub with cold water. rubbed gently. and then put it in the washer for another rinse. and now it is on a sheet on my car to dry. cant really tell
yet, but I think most of the dots came out yea!!!!!
(on the instructions it said to cover the dots with thread !!!
will, I would have had to used six strands of embroidery
thread and do perfect stitches I thought that was dumb.
i bought both kits about the same time.
