I had this pen with black ink and every time I used it I'd end up with ink on everything.
I'd wash my hands and scrub with all sorts of soaps etc didn't help one bit.
Then one day dummy me grabbed that pen again and yup you guessed it ink everywhere.
I had gotten a bottle of Awesome
and said "self.. it's the only thing you've not tried."
So I spritz my hands with Awesome ran warm water over them and ink was gone. Didn't even have to rub hands together.

1quilt_gma,
Thanks for the tip to bookmark the topic, I didn't know yet to do that!
I'm soooo sorry this happened to your quilt and all your effort, what a downer :thumbdown:
But, as an encouragement, let me tell you about an antique quilt from the Civil War era that I saw in a MUSEUM once. It had the pencil marks still showing on the face of it 130 years after it was made, but that beautiful quilt was proudly hung where all could see and admire it.
Love yours anyway!
