Hiya all.
I am in the process of making a shirt (not historical), that has been on hold
for several years.
When I started on the shirt, I used a wheel and tracing paper to get the pattern over to the fabric.
It is white 100% linen. How can i get the marks out? it has been ironed a lot of times since then and I used a green tracing paper. I have not washed it yet, because I am afraid that will set the colour even better.
1. Mark some scraps to test-clean.
2. Run one through your normal wash cycle. If it works you're home free.
3. Try mixing up some oxy-clean with water and soak a test scrap in it.
It may knock out the color.
4. Try Synthrapol SP. It's a de-greaser and removes stray pigment, and
is commonly used before dyeing fabrics.
5. Try a mild chlorine bleach solution. Linen can usually stand up to that.
