A cheap remover for marker is acetone.

I did. I was showing someone at RUM a few weeks ago how to do viking
wire knitting and the pen I was using as a mandrel had the cap off
and garb beneath had a HUGE permanent ink marker stain. All the way
through two dresses to my skin.
I had washed the viking apron, it's old I wasn't out anything, and
taken alcohol to it to vainly try to get it out (don't use that I
found out).
The large dime sized black dot on the front right above the belt line
on my grey herolfnes underdress was the worst, it's my main piece of
garb right now. I wisely hadn't washed since it happened, but had
taken some alcohol to the smaller spots. I knew washing could set
in stains so I let it alone. it's been sitting in my hamper since
while I researched some options.
I found this stuff recommended on the Sharpie marker site called Amodex.

A quick google search found me several places that had it and I
ordered a 1oz bottle. It came today. It claims to remove ink of all
kinds, grease, food, berry, blood, the works. Basically if it's a
stain it'll take it out on ANY fabric or surface.
I have to say this crap works. At least on permanent marker on
fabric! WOW!
It's very much like a dishwashing liquid in appearance an
consistancy, it comes with a brush. I could see each successive
application of a few drops and rubbing working by the spot underneath
go from a bloody yellow to yellow to a beige to barely anything at
all. Took about a half hour and over a dozen applications of the
liquid but by the end I had a hard time spotting the I was working
on. And it took out the smaller ones.
It also, though, removed most of the stain on my viking apron as
well, and it had been washed before. but the results are not NEARLY
as impressive as the unwashed dress.
After the washing I just put the dresses in for I expect it to be
nearly invisible on the grey dress. Definitely wearable without being
under another dress even.
Just wanted to pass on a good product we probably will all need at
some point. I have a ton left (probably only used a tablespoon's
worth) and happy to have it in case of a future incident.
If anyone wants the link to buy where i got it from email me. You can
also order some direct from the manufacturer in larger and travel sizes.
I highly suggest buying one before you need it. I wish I'd found it
years ago.
