Laurie Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 What is the magic touch in getting out dry erase markers from fabric? I just got about 1/4 inch worth of marker on some cream fabric - broke all my own rules! I am so not happy :mad: :mad: I need help fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Laurie, We feel your pain!!! Check out the thread at http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=9004&page=1#pid78734 don't know if it will work for your combo of fabric/marker, but at least there are some ideas there. Good luck, and let us know what works - for the next time one of us does this....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 There is also dry erase cleaner. It comes in a small spray bottle. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 What I have done so far is to just dab it with a damp paper towel. It has actually faded to the point of not being able to see it. Also, I have managed to place my beadboard stitching right over it! :cool: Thankfully it was a light marker and a light mark..... My main concern, however, is that when she gets it home and washes it - with soap - the mark will reappear. That would be even more horrible!

barbm Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Laurie, Can you find a piece of fabric similar to the one in your quilt, make a mark, then test-wash it? Might ease your fears ---- or might lead you to warn her..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Barb - I am going to do just that!!! I think the mark is gone.... but I haven't looked at the back this morning yet.... I just hate when stuff like that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
