Removing printed quilting guidelines


Recommended Posts

Customer has brought me a couple of  very old quilt tops that were hand appliqued and hand embroidered.  They have tiny dots printed on them (I assume that is a guide for quilting) however they are not coming out with any type of cleaning.  Any suggestions?? They are a dark blue/blackish color and fabric is thin white.  I haven't quilted yet.  Would normally use a very light thread and low loft batting.  Wondering if a higher loft would hide these dots if I can't get them out.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Why not just stitch a French knot over every. single. dot?  Just kidding---I'd go nuts!

My mom did a lot of pillow cases and table cloths in cross stitch when I was a kid, and the pattern was printed with little "x's" where she needed to stitch.  You can totally see the printed X's but the pillow cases are still charming.
