My great grandfather was a tailor and taught my dad a great little trick, that my dad taught me: Potato starch and naphtha (or any other highly refined petrol/gas). Corn starch can be used instead of potato starch.
You drip a little naphtha on the spot and lay a small pile of starch on top. After a little while the spot has been sucked up by the starch - and you can brush of the starch.
You can also mix the starch and naphtha and place a good spoonful on the spot - let it dry - brush it off.
You may need to repeat the process a couple of times, but usually it's very efficient - especially with fatty spots
