I may try that. It is a disappointment to have pencil lines in a quilt but I think it would be even more disappointing if I hadn't put them there! So glad the Oxyclean worked for your dark lines. <br /><br />I looked up the Goop website last night and learned that they recommend leaving the solution on for at least an hour up to overnight. I may try that again, too, and leave it on overnight.<br /><br />Take care and thanks for coming to leave a comment. I appreciate it.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-46392392219290084752014-03-23T18:50:57.016-04:002014-03-23T18:50:57.016-04:00I researched online before using the pencil and re...I researched online before using the pencil and read both ways - easy to remove, hard to remove - and I didn't have a problem with a previous quilt or on a few of the fabrics in this quilt before I used the pencil. Yes, go lightly with pencil. I know I will from now on, or not even use them. Perhaps they're fading. Thanks for the compliment about the hearts.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-2514846563619919622014-03-23T18:47:47.531-04:002014-03-23T18:47:47.531-04:00Thanks for the heads-up about Frixion pens, Bonny....Thanks for the heads-up about Frixion pens, Bonny.

I'm glad you like the photo. I was really surprised when I opened the machine and saw it. I had to run back upstairs for my camera.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-78271867944804855592014-03-23T12:48:34.171-04:002014-03-23T12:48:34.171-04:00So sorry to hear this happened on your beautiful q...So sorry to hear this happened on your beautiful quilt. I have always used a pencil for marking, although I am careful to make very light lines, and I have never had this problem. In fact, I always do small sections at a time -- otherwise the marks will often rub off (in the process of repositioning my hoop) before I get to the next section. Years ago I sent a top to be quilted by a group of church ladies, and it came back with very dark pencil lines. To remove them I used a teaspoon of Oxyclean powder dissolved in a small amount of hot water which I rubbed into the marks with a Q-tip. I didn't rinse it out until I finished dabbing the entire quilt, because I wanted the Oxyclean to have time to work. I was so relieved that the marks did come out.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861994507855064237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-19381339072818756502014-03-23T10:51:32.669-04:002014-03-23T10:51:32.669-04:00I've never thought pencil markings would be so...I've never thought pencil markings would be so difficult to remove! But I'll be more careful now when using them. They aren't glaringly noticeable in the pictures and hopefully they'll fade with time, too.

And that is the cutest view into a washer that I've ever seen. If my washer could somehow look like that every time I opened it up to throw laundry in, I might do laundry a lot more often. hehe ;)Kelli Fannin Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320874172629888663noreply@blogger.com
