This is the shirt I got a birdnest and hole in,so I redesigned it to cover the hole.Finally got it all done and my dissappearing marks did not disappear.You Cuties gave me many tips which I tried and poor shirt has been scrubed,washed and rewashed. I never did get them totally out and I settled on marks being so faint can't hardly see them.This shirt was an embroidery nightmare. Thanks again for all your tips.

Sometimes as a last resort I simply applique over the mess I made & no one is the wiser nless they look behind *4U

that's a great idea too,Thanks

You have inspired me. I have a t-shirt just sitting with a "few mistakes" on it. I plan to make lemon-aid out of that one too.

Thanks ,I sure hope so.

Had one of these myself early in my embroidery life and know just what you mean. BUT, don't you feel great about yourself when it is done and looks this great? Congrats....

Thank you and yes I was determined to save this shirt even tho I could have made 3 or 4 in the time it took to save this one.I was feeling pretty great until the marker didn't disapear.Then I was like I don't beleive this and scrubed alot.

Can't tell by looking it had/has problems! I'll bet the princess loves it!

yes I definately learned not to rush because it doesn't really save time when things like this happens and you have to spend way too much time fixing.

One question - are you ready to tackle another one? You did a good job despite your problems.

The shirt looks great, I could never notice you had such problems. Maybe this can help you next time - I sew a lot and for the marks I always use ordinary soap. It just has to be thin and to scent great :)
