I once marked a piece of a purse I was making for my sister with the purple marking pens that are supposed to fade away after a day or so. Well, I decided that my ironed on pellon needed to be ironed a little more after I had quilted it and after I turned it over I realized that I hadn't let the purple fade away first. ARGHHHH! A little quick thinking (and praying) and I used some of the Grandma's stain removal and washed the purse. It worked! Whew!! So, for any of you having the staining problem-Give it a try. Not sure of the exact name but it is available in small bottles at JoAnn's and Hancocks.

Hope this helps someone!

I use the washable crayola markers all of the time. I have never had a problem with them coming out. I do try to use a color that is very close to my fabric color, marking lightly, just enough to see the lines. I also make sure I never get the iron close to the lines....
