    I do too! I noticed after I sprayed, all the ink is on the backside. Forget the fine mist spray. I dropped the tube down the drain holding it over the kitchen sink so just sprayed the whole top left corner of the mini. We'll know soon. wml.

    It's soaking now in warm soapy water to get that auto shop smell out. It looked like it has worked. I only saw 4 small areas that need to come out and then it is fixed!!! Another dousing will do it I am sure. As soon as it dries, we'll try again. :-D :-D :-D Yes!! :-D

I found them once at Wal Mart, but can't fine them there anymore. Any kind of heat works, can you use a blow dryer too. I use a little craft iron. They come in these colors: blue, black, orange, and pink, no white. Your quilt is really pretty, I hope you have better luck than I did.
    Thank you so much, Willie Mae! This is really a good thing to know about Frixion! Nice colors too that are available!! So far, the WD-40 has done good. It's so windy today, the mini is almost dry (soaked in WD40) and it looks good. There's just about 4 more little places to redo and it'll be fine.
    :D :D

    i use fineline blue pens with great success. you can get water removable and air removable which disappears in (i forget how many) a few hours.
    Thank you, misseva, for that link!! That sounds great at this point! :oops: ;-) :roll: :lol:

    I've used that stuff with great success! But I've never tried it on ink on fabric. Good luck!!

    You would think so!!! I forgot that I had tried Dawn detergent in the beginning and that didn't do it. Tide didn't do it. Borax didn't do it. I can always give it a douse now of water repellant in addition to now being stain-free it will be frost-proof! All the ink that had been blown to the back of it is now gone!! I just noticed while it was on the line, so WD-40 is our man!! Thank you, dsj!!!
