meg_marsh Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Have tried a search but not finding. What is the amount of baking soda added to water for the Sherry Rogers Harrison Blizzard spoon method to remove markings on a quilt? Also what type of markings does this solution remove.

Bonnie Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I use a teaspoon of soda to a pint of water...and it only removes the blue water erase pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Bonnie - I knew you would have the answer - thanks - next question - I know Sherry uses the Marvey purple air erase - do they really air erase or do I have to worry about the batting and marks coming to the top??

Merryjo2003 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I marked a quilt recently with the purple air erase. I did come out. In fact, I had to re-mark one area because it faded out before I got it quilted! When I was in a hurry to remove the marks, I sprayed them with a little water and they got darker, then went away with the next spritz. I still tell customers (and have them sign a waiver) if I have to mark a quilt. They can come back, but I haven't had them cause a problem so far. I do tell them to wash them after.

Yes they come out very well...so well in fact I can't even use them here in NY...our humidity is so high that before you can mark a design it has already started to disappear.... there in CA you should have better luck (maybe)....I use to go through boxes of them in NV and loved them. In fact I didn't own any of the blue markers then because I was so scared that they would leave marks on my customers quilts, because of the heat there and I couldn't guarntee that they would go straight home and wash them.

SherryRogers Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi Meg I use one red Blizzard spoonful per 48 oz. of water. I use a plant mister that I bought at the home improvment store in place of a spray bottle. This is much easier on your hands and you get a very fine misting of spray. WETTING the quilt is not nessasary, I mist and wipe as opposed to drenching the quilt. I also recomend using bottled water if your source of water is hard or has clorine added. PS, the chocklate chunk pecan fudge with coconut and extra pecans has the best spoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meg_marsh Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Sherry, First, thanks - this is in my favorites now. But really girl, you get funnier all the time - will have to try the the chocklate chunk pecan fudge with coconut and extra pecans - might even make my quilting better:P You think??? I wanted to know all this because I am getting closer to working on a feather quilt - it is all put together - 20 10" blocks. Want to do a different feather idea in each block........... I keep procrastinating, but it is on the design board and staring me in the face every day. Still working up my courage!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 HI Meg Your so welcome! You'll do fine on your quilt Meg, there is no doubt in my mind. Just relax, take your time and enjoy the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 keep in mind...I told Jeanne about the baking soda thing for removing markers and she tried it...now, I don't know what ratio she used, but when she spritzed the baking soda "bleached" out the fabric. She may have used too much baking soda, but something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PamelaA Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 It sounds like I will have to visit my local DQ sometime soon. I assume that you need a new spoon everytime you make up the solution... Pamela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Oh you guys are not helping! I love Blizzards but just can't have one now! I need to loose a dress size in the next 6 weeks! That is when the dress is coming in that I'm wearing to my son's wedding is coming in and I ordered a size smaller! LOL now that's incentive for loosing it isn't it?! 10 lbs should be very doable and that is my goal! I'd love to loose 15 by the time May rolls around!!!!! We'll see. I do think there is a DQ right down the street from where we'll be staying so I guess it will have to wait until then!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
