ink and pencil problems ...
I recently made a cute little quilt a peace quilt and free motion sewed flower designs on it but to see the designs i had stupidly used pencil at first then on blocks i couldn't see used a ink pen to mark my design ....I definately am learning alot of do's and don't to quilting lol ... I have been treating the blocks with shout, oxy clean, rubbing alchol, and tried hair spray... slowing it is comming out . so have any of you ever done this and how did you solve your problem ?

when the quilt is actually washed in a washer with detergent the pencil should wash right out- as for the ink- that ones a bit more difficult. grandma's spot remover is about the only thing i know of that might-
always test what ever you are planning to use to mark a quilt- even if it came out of the last one---always test
pencil and chalk are usually the easiest- but there are lots of special marking tools out there- ones that disappear with water, with air, with heat (others set with heat- or water----always read the instructions for the tool you choose---and again---test)

putting ink on top of pencil is part of the problem...when you combine them, they are pretty much permanent... good luck...i hear Grandma's is pretty good and I have had good luck with Oxyclean and Whink, though not with this particular combination stain...
