I tried a Sharpie quilting on a light background with light thread, and it left
marks that I struggled to get out with rubbing alcohol (had to use a lot to
keep the ink from migrating further into the quilt!)

I had the same experience with the Sharpie pen on light fabric,
but realized what looked like marks on the fabric was actually
bits of the Press 'n Seal stuck under the stitches.... I was able
to remove those with a tweezer, but a strip of sticky tape would
probably work well too.

Happy New Year, everyone! Been very busy lately. For PNS scraps that
remain under the stitching, cover with a paper towel and press lightly
with a very warm. not hot, iron. It melts and disappears. Worked for me.

Crayola makes washable felt-tip markers that work, too, on PNS. Nancycog
