WARNING!!! DO NOT TRY THIS ON YOUR QUILT!!!! I BLEW IT!!!
#222
I have an idea-- Why done you sew over the ink spots in the dark color and make it look like the actual quilting. That way it will not show so badly. Sorry didn't see the follow up stories. Have you tried using buttermilk. I also heard that mayonnaise gets rid of pen properly too. Give it a try and see if that works before continuing the acetone.

Try to make a big feature of it with thick thread on bits you can turn into chunky sashiko stitches, or cover it up with fabric paint or extra embellishment. You could end up with a really funky quilt if you put ribbon, paint,ink dyes or beading on it.

Try the aresoul (Sp) Spray and Wash. Sometimes it is hard to find ( I could not get it in Phoenix) But my mother is an expert stain remover and she has gotten lots of thick ink, like when a pen explodes, out of many different things with it...I have even used it on a few things!

1) don't trust anything you've counted on before! It CAN FAIL!
2) always test it out FIRST on scraps!
3) don't mix chemicals together! Let each layer dry separately!
4) don't inhale the chemicals! They are dangerous and many are cancer-causing agents!
5) if you use Acetone, cover your nose first! Do not inhale it!!
6) if you use WD-40, don't inhale those fumes!
7) After using WD-40, soak the article in ammonia/vinegar solution to rid the smell.
8) Line dry the item on the clothesline in the SUN! It's a purifier!
9) Just because the quilting mfg. says so doesn't mean it's true!
10) Use caution along with good judgment and wisdom
11) Gently dab the article with Qtips dipped in Acetone. If it does bleach the fabric any, it won't be so noticeable! (one person noted that Acetone did bleach their item).
12) Before trying a product with a great sounding name, check the ingredients first! What's in this thing that could harm my fabric?
13) Be wise on all your shopping trips and purchases!
Thank you, dsj, for all your super support and encouraging words! Praise God, we recovered and the mini is resting fine from all that surgery!! Hope everyone will be more cautious now on the products we use and things we do!!
:-D :-D.....especially me.... :oops: :oops: :oops:

Now you have me worried about you and your health from all those fumes!! How are you feeling? are you light headed, dizzy feeling, thirsty, hungry, I'm sure you are tired from all of it. That was a lot of work for you?
You are right mixing all that can be a little dangerous I suppose. We need to have your list of things to becareful of as a permanent fixture on the board. I have a passion for what we all do. Quilts are not only a link to our history but our future as well. They can sure brighten a day.
