I thought I used an erasable pen to grid out my design. Just discovered that it was a regular pen. I soaked the whole thing in warm water with dawn dish soap, scrubbed with a toothbrush, used shout in some areas but obviously it s still there. How would you fix this? My first thought is to trim around the design and reglue to a different Aida backdrop? -- Stephanie from Kingsville, TX

- I would try using Cascade dishwasher soap packet that includes the bleach bubble. Use very hot water to melt the packet & then add enough cold water so the temperature of the water is tepid prior to submerging your fabric. Let it sit overnight undisturbed. It may lift the remaining marks from your fabric. -- Anna from Kalispell, MT -- Jan 22

About Copyrights:
Copyright patterns may not be copied and given to someone else. It's against the law and it's dishonest. On the Internet, one copy can quickly turn into one million which basically takes away the need for people to buy the patterns, which puts the designers out of business. You can give away, trade, or sell the original leaflet though.
In the case of Crosstitch.com patterns, which are by subscription, all patterns are for the members personal use only and may not be given away or re-distibuted in any manner.
