    I have used the Crayola Washable markers many times with good luck. I did find out that if you make a mistake and spritz it with water it will run instead of coming out, but it does all come out when washed.

    I forgot to mention I very seldom pre wash my fabrics. I like the feel of working with unwashed fabric.

    I only use Washable Markers for marking my quilts. I use them to mark measurements and use them to trace stencils for fmq. I have never had a problem w/them. I you use them for marking anything and find you've made a mistake, then use the tide to go stick and wait a few min and let it dry and then remark and go on. I Love Them.

    i've had the blue water erasing markers not come out-
    i've had some chalks not come out
    i've had washable quilters pencil---not come out
    but then again-i've had all of them also work perfectly-
    i've had good luck with things my famous quilting pal has had horrible luck with-i've had her favorite marker ruin a quilt of mine---

    each project each tool- needs to be tested.
    Such good advice. Better safe than sorry, that's for sure. I plan on getting the markers, but will test every time to be sure the marks come out.

    Haven't used crayola's but love using Elmer's washable glue for bindings and craft projects.

    I learned about these markers at a free motion quilting class. The instructor used green. She said she tested the markers by leaving the color on her test piece for a long time and then washing and it all came out!! So, since then I haven't hesitated to use them.

    I've used generic dollar store WASHABLE markers with sucess, but as was mentioned, check every project every time. But I've never had a problem,eiher.

    I use water soluble markers and have had no problems.

    I recently found a pen at my local quilt shop made by Pilot called FriXion ball pens and it it incredible. It disappears with the easy press of an iron. I have ordered a package of 8 (assorted colors) from Amazon.com. I love it because I don't have to wet my fabric to remove the ink as is the case with the water soluble markers.

    I've been using these for 4 years now (even the dark colors). Never had a problem with them staining.
