Free Quilting Tips

June 2004

Having a problem getting those pencil and ink markings from your quilt tops? Here is a 'solution' to this problem. 1/4 cup of water, add 7-8 drops of Palmolive Dish Detergent and 3/4 cup rubbing alcohol. Use a toothbrush and scrub in a circular motion gently. Rinse and dry. Remember never to iron on top of the pencil or pen line, this will set the ink and pencil mark and make it very difficult to remove, if at all. This is true of chalk arks also, hard to remove after being ironed over.
