Sometimes a Shout wipe works for me to remove marks

I use QuikGo speed spotter to easily remove pencil marks. (see my Blog in this forum to see a picture of this product and a pencil on cotton sample showing how to use it and remove the marks) This will soon be a non issue for you...just relax.

Above is the link to the question I posted on QB regarding removing pencil marks. There are some great tips I tried. I had white fabric. Some of the marks disappeared and some were very faint after trying a variety of methods. Good luck!

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.

I have had some success using Magic Eraser - dry removing pencil.

Peckish - what was the reason why Alex Anderson does not recommend Frixion?

I was going to say for a "next time I do this" - to use the Frixion because one of the things that I love about it is if I change my mind when marking a quilt, I take the heat from the iron and it disappears so that I can change my mind.

I have used this formula for many years and it works. However, I normally wash my project after I finish it. The suggestion of using it on a scrap first, is a good idea.

I mark with pencil and use the eraser to remove the marks when finished.

Peckish

Because they're not designed for fabric use. She worries about the damage the ink may do to the fabric. She was very adamant about it.
