I had to wash the block several times to get all the yellow out but it did come out. Maybe I press too hard also but then again, I can't see too well.

I was traveling from TN to FL on a to frequent basis, and had a Christmas sampler I was working on in the car. A majority of the fabric was white background prints. I removed the marks as I finished each block and everything was disappearing. One trip during the summer I opened the box to sew and all the removed marks had came back in brown, and permanently. I stick to the silver pencil, hara marker or white tailors chalk. (Avoid yellow tailors chalk, it doesn't steam out as it says on the package.)KQ Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100001813595381733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-23169664880521915902010-04-03T23:10:23.626+01:002010-04-03T23:10:23.626+01:00Great tips, so glad the stain came out it's a ...Great tips, so glad the stain came out it's a very beautiful block.
