The black mark...Thank you so much for this comment. The black marks that appeared on my hand-painted fabric (I'm stitching mira's snow queen on it) definitely started out "powdery," and then it smudged right into the fabric. I couldn't figure out why the heck black powder was blowing around my house and thought it had to somehow be the magnet from the needle minder. Now I'm almost positive it was toner, which I can't seem to remove (it looks like bits of black dust stuck on the fabric). At least I'll know what it is for next time.Violet Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189911377842781049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-38102066528205131282018-03-30T19:31:37.408-04:002018-03-30T19:31:37.408-04:00Coni - before you dab it with anything. know whet...Coni - before you dab it with anything. know whether or not the mark is from toner or ink. They behave differently with cleaning. If it is toner (the powdery stuff) make sure you clean with COLD temperatures as heat will quickly set the stain. Cold is probably best for ink as well, but toner "melts" with heat. Just so you know.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154624432475587139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-4203119443865669252018-03-30T17:34:44.277-04:002018-03-30T17:34:44.277-04:00Get a WET ONE and dab at the marks.

She almost cried since it was a Mirabilia that was almost done. The Wet One took it all out. And that, my friend, is my Easter gift to you. LOL Have a fabulous weekend.

I didn't even think of that. I might need to take some precautions against that in the future....maybe put a white piece of paper between chart and fabric. Thanks for mentioning this!<br /><br />Your project, as always, is stitching up beautifully.Violet Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189911377842781049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-55212311936499293012018-03-30T09:21:02.798-04:002018-03-30T09:21:02.798-04:00Happy to hear you solved the mystery of the dark m...Happy to hear you solved the mystery of the dark marks on your fabric!
