Stupidity and a permanent marker
I remember hearing about using Glad press and seal to mark lines for machine quilting. Sounded like a good idea.....until I used a permanent marker for my tracing and then sewed over that line. The white thread turned black. I thought when I ripped out the thread it would be ok. Nope. Anyone have any tips for getting the black marker out? The only thing I can think of would be to do my stitching in a dark color.

I think I would stitch it in purple to match the other fabrics in the top. If it is from a permanent marker I don't think it will come out. Was it because the marker wasn't dry or it transferred from the thread? Very disappointing to say the least!

How about an applique of a heart on the line only. Mark some same fabric with the pen and try different was to remove and or cover. This will sound stupid. Wet line then mark with a white chalk line and keep dabbing with a dry cloth.keep going.
Or a friend used spray starch and glue and covered. I didn't like end result. Water and dampening may work or stain remover instead of water.
