Help - how to remove oil drops from quilt?

Remember the old K2R Spotlifter? I sure wish I had some now!
I olied my walking foot and now have a few spots on a quilt that
I'm working on. Is there anything like the K2R that I can use to
remove them?

Try Energine or one of the Shout wipes

Alex Anderson recommends corn starch brushed on and allowed to set
overnight. Have not tried it myself. Nancycog in MD

Try liquid dish detergent. It often will get a stain out that otherwise
won't come out.

Try Carbona Stain remover, it took set in for who knows how long motor
type oil out of terry cloth. And is environmentally friendly.
Or Z'Out.

Cornstarch works great! I have used it on a number of articles of clothing,
and it helps remove lots of greasy stains. I brush it into both sides of
the fabric with a toothbrush, let set overnight, then brush or beat it out
in the morning. Repeat if needed. Then wash, and the oil stain is gone.

Aha, Mickie. We wondered where you were or, better yet, what you were up to.
Details, we want details.
As to the cornstarch - oh my yes. I always try that first. Back before I
became a deliriously happy deadbeat and Dressed Everyday, I used cornstarch
to remove the grungy make-up stuff from the collars of my coats, sweaters,
and blouses, even (or especially) wool and silk. Didn't always work but it
was harmless and usually did the trick.
For the Inquiring Minds...no I don't "dress" now, I just cover up.

Going to get some of the stain remover next time I see it, but for
now a little dab of dish soap and some rubbing with a damp sponge
has lightened them enough so the spots fade & blend with the rest
of the fabric. I didn't want to have to wash the whole quilt, not an
option with my commissioned projects! g
Thanks everybody for your suggestions

white toothpaste, brushed on...
