Does anyone know how to get pencil marks off aida cloth without having to take it off the scroll frame to wash it???
As I stitch, I mark off each square on my pattern with greylead pencil. The problem is that my scroll frame rested on the "coloured" in squares and I know have some of the pencil marks rubbed off onto my aida cloth.
I really don't want to take the work off the scroll frame because I would have to sew it back on, but I do have to get the stains out before I continue stitching on that part of it, because it would be visible in the finished areas.
I really hope someone reads this and has some answers for me.
In case you are wondering I have tried using an eraser designed for use on fabric, but that has left rubber residue and did not really work, in some spots it smudged it further.

Working on it
Just an update on how I'm stitching.
Girl Reading is coming along well. I got some extra done while I was on holiday from work over Christmas. Not quite as much as I may have wanted to do, but there's always a lot going on at that time of year.
I would really like to finish it this year (2008), but we'll see.
No news on the baby yet, but I wouldn't expect that for another couple of weeks, maybe a month. Of course if the baby is born in exactly one month, we will share a birthday!
That's all for now, but keep checking the progress bar for this and you'll see how I'm going. Wish I had a digital camera, then I could take pictures of the progress and post them easily (I'm still using film).
