Ink transfer removal
I purchased a pair of pillow cases to embroider from ebay and after
finishing them I found out the ink pattern would not wash out. This is a first for me. Everything else I ever embroidered the pattern washed out. I tried Oxyclean but that didn't work. I can't use any bleach because I have all ready completed doing them. Any ideas??? Thank you. |

It is not uncommon at all for the inks stamped on products to remain after washing. It's a real problem, especially when they are bold lines. Hand drawing with black ink on silk or linen is a common practise and it's perfectly acceptable for some of the lines to show. But I know what you mean. Repeated washings should be your remedy, but it may take a very long time, if ever. I truly understand your angst. It's a sorry development after your hard work.

Ink transfer removal
I am trying to catch up with this list (grin).
I wonder, could the hard to remove lines be 1 particular brand of pillowcases ? Hopefully it is and we could just avoid that brand in the future. Probably not that simple, though. I have not had a problem removing the lines before either. It would be very upsetting if that should happen. Naomah "Joan" wrote in message oups.com...
