Recently I remembered a post that I read on a mailing list for quilting about removing pencil marks from fabric. I had bookmarked it but never got around to trying it. Well it works!! I tried it the other day and it worked. Here is the recipe for it:
3/4 cup rubbing alcohol
1/4 cup water
7 to 8 drops of palmolive dish soap
place all in a small spray bottle. Spray the pencil marks and saturate it good, use a soft toothbrush and lightly brush and brush. The mark will fade a bit, when you think you have gotten as much out as you can – rinse the fabric with cold water. I thought my mark was still going to be in the fabric a little but surprise, surprise when it dried the pencil mark was gone.
Here is a link to the original article where I read about it:
