Stitches

Stain on counted cross stitch!?

Help!! I am working on a counted cross stitch on white aida cloth. Im using a yellow hi-liter to mark off my stitches on the pattern, and got some on the cloth. Any ideas how to get the stain out? I dont want to start over again!

1. Rubbing alcohol or Shout will usually remove highlighter from clothing.
2. I got highlighter on a white blouse once and it washed right out. So right away, try immersing the fabric in cool water with a small amount of detergent and see if it comes out. If that doesn't work, try one of the stain sticks.
3. Is it on a part that will show when you have completed the stitching? If it is on the stitched part try washing it with soap flakes or a gentle soap and lukewarm water.
