Ooops

Mommy is going to kill me.

She had her pencil 6 inches away from her stitching, but then I started
wrestling with my sister and we not only got the two closer than they
were, but we got pencil all over her stitching. Eraser just smears the
grey around the fabric and doesn't do anything on the thread.

Does anyone know a good way to get pencil off stitching and save my life?

Love, Miss Kitty

I use a Prang White Vinyl Block Eraser from Dixon. It works good to remove
pencil marks from fabric.

Miss Kitty,

Do you need Aunt Cheryl to mail you one?

Thank you, Aunt Mavia. I wasn't sure whether my life was worth saving
when Mom threatened to lock me on the back porch in 40 degrees
overnight. I hope it works and she lets me sleep in the bed tonight.

Purrrrrrr,
Miss Kitty

Mom was going to hike over to the art supply store, but if you can save
her a trip out in this wind, she might forgive me faster.

Well, Miss Kitty, I can't get to Staples until Friday; have her let me
know...

Try this:

Take some ordinary white bread (supermarket stuff will do), pull out the
white part from the middle of one slice or perhaps two, and leave the
crusts. Fold it a couple of times, into a ball, then press it onto the
pencil marks and lift it off again with a rolling motion - side to side
or bottom to top. If this lifts off any of the pencil lead (it should),
fold the soiled part of the bread into the middle and repeat the
process. When the bread dough is getting grey and horrid, get a new piece.

This is a very old-fashioned remedy, let us know if it works.

Actually, I found a mechanical pencil here with a white eraser, and that
combined with warm water seems to have done the trick.

Thank you all for your suggestions. The cat will be permitted to live.

Good for removing grubby marks from wallpaper, too.

And it's best to use the really tacky, cheap, sliced bread. "Real bread"
as made at home is not nearly so effective.
