I got an email from an embroidery business that told if you had trouble getting the blue marks out of fabric from the pens, a drop of fresh lemon juice works.. Haven't tried it but passing along.

Thanks for the tip it can be a pain and if it is ironed it is even harder to remove.

Oh Brenda - thanks - now I understand - why I had so much trouble removing it from some pillowcases. Thanks!

Thanks ddoersch. I have heard of this but forgotten. My DH came home last week with a new shirt on where his pen had leaked or should say emptied onto his shirt. We washed it twice and got a lot out. Haven't ironed or dryed it yet so I will try it. Cross your fingers because he loved this shirt.

I never have heard of this one. But it sure sounds like it would work. (acid in the juice) I am going to give it a try. Thank you so much.

I hope you are talking bout the blue markings for placement and NOT ink pens???? IF you need to get ink pen off something use aresol hair spray...put papertowl underneath and spray..then dab with papertoweling. Repeat til gone!

I assume since it was from an embroidery site they meant the blue placement pen ink...
