Good Evening Every1,
I hope that all is well with you & your families. I have a little dilemma. I am using a water soluble marking pen, to draw my stitching lines on my 3 1/2" blocks. My question is how would you remove the lines. I have tried several different spray bottles & they made a BIG MESS. I have also tried a wash cloth with the same result. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am wondering if there is a great gadget out there that I don't know about yet... :lol: :lol: Thanks for all of your help in advance.
Have a blessed day.

Are you SURE you're using a water soluble marking pen??? I've not heard of one making a mess. I just spritz mine with a spray bottle and they disappear. Sometimes it take a few spritzes...... Good luck!

what kind of a mess???
do not iron on the marks-
and when the quilt is done- wash it- they should all disappear. as long as you haven't (heat set) them.
we do not know what you mean by making a mess- water erase pens generally just disappear when spritzed with water---where is the (mess)?

I just did the same thing. I tried to spritz it and it disappeared but as it dried there was blue smudges all over the area. I just ignored it until I was done. It all washed out. Don't worry about it as long as it was the correct marker.
