Marking with Crayola washable markers

I am a longarm quilter and use WASHABLE CRAYOLA MARKERS to mark my quilting designs. The only color I do not use is the black. I have had a problem getting the black to wash out in 1 washing. DO NOT IRON OVER THE WASHABLE MARKER. This can cause some "trace" to be left behind. i.e. You wash and the marker comes out but over time you see a shadow of the marker. I've been using the Crayola brand marker for years and the iron is the only problem I have encountered. I just buy the small 8 pack of colors which last for a very long time and they are not very expensive.

I use the washable markers and/or frixion pens. I always starch my fabric before cutting and every time I press as I go along. By the time I mark my quilt top, there is so much starch that I am actually drawing on starch and not fabric. LOL! Never had a problem removing marks.

To use frixion pens or not to use frixion pens.

What a fabulous idea, thanks for the FYI. I would probably test the markers on a sample fabric before I use them, but from what you've told us, it's a simple solution to an age old problem - how to mark quilts.
