I just saw this post. Fit Vegetable Spray and Wash will take out Sharpie permanent marker used by a two year old on everything she could reach, so it should take out ink. 99% of new ink pins don't have real ink in them at all. That's why the the old stand by products won't work anymore. Also mascara remover will take most dark stains out of of fabric.

OK, I confess...I'm not going to read all 17 pages of this, but I have one question that may or may not have been answered in the 17 pages....What kind of ink pen was it? Ball-point, roller-ball, felt. Also the brand-name might be helpful to keep others from making the same mistake. Whatever brand/type it was, I sure don't want to use it. Thanks for any detailed info you can give us.

well it is a lesson learned but it will bring back some laughable memories too. That is what life is lessons learned and full of. fun memories. It will be a quilt that you can pass down long after your gone.

:D :D ;) The funny thing is I can't get the pen to write now even though the barrel shows it's full of ink!

Place a terry towel rag inside of the ink stain. Saturate the stain with rubbing alcohol, agitate it into the fiber and blot with another rag as it loosens the ink. Continue doing this until the ink transfers out of the fibers into both of the rags, pre-spot with Resolve, Zout, Shout or spray n wash then launder as usual with your regular detergent.
"The Terry Towel is the secret. You need something for the transfer. Just try to stay away from a pen which is marked permanent. You will never get it out. It only becomes lighter with each washing. My husband was a USPS employee and was constantly coming home with ink stained shirt pockets. Believe me ladies it works.
