I used green Sewline on a quilt I just finished hand quilting,
washed it and the green Sewline did not come out. It is under the stitching. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. A friend of mine had the same thing happen.

This is what you can use to get the stubborn blue pen out so see if it helps.
If your blue soluble marker does not wash out, try the following:
¼teaspoonbakingsoda
¼cuphotwater
Pour over marked area and the blue disappears forever.

I love Sewline pencils. I use plain water and a soft child's toothbrush to gently brush the lines away (going with the grain), but I've only used the white and the gray. Using an eraser stretches the fabric too much, imho.
ETA: If you've dried your quilt in a dryer, the marks may now be heat set.
