I've used rubbing alcohol to get rid of accidental ink stains. Success may also depend on how long the marks have been there. I have a quilt that was marked with pencil for quilting--left too long that nothing seems to be going to remove those marks. The suggestion of covering the marks with embroidery may be your only solution.

I would wash after quilting. I have yet to have a stain that the following would not take out: A paste using blue Dawn, Baking Soda and Peroxide. Spray spot(s) with a little water; place blue Dawn on spots, sprinkle with Baking Soda and then spray with peroxide. Rub in with a toothbrush. Leave set for at least an hour or even longer. Repeat after each wash as needed, maybe allowing more set time.

I successfully removed my young granddaughter's "art" work with a ball point pen from my easy chair with baby wipes, no trace left! She managed to cover a large area in just the few minutes we had our backs turned.
Years ago my husband scratched his back with his ball point pen, he didn't realize it was open. Hair spray got that ink out.

I use Motsenbockers Liftoff Stain remover products, there are 3 formulations that remove almost everything you can think of including ink. I bought the trial set which has 2 oz bottles of each of the 3, a little goes a long way. Like with any product you want to test in a small area.
