on the steam setting, it ran the ink a bit, but nothing horrible. The red and pink left a ghost of a mark which I pointed out with arrows as I'm not sure it will show up on the monitor.

GREAT THREAD!!!! Thank you all for your feedback on these markers. You should be a product tester for Consumer Reports! I bet if you wrote this up into an article, one of the quilting magazines would print it! Send the information to the Crayola folks, too. They may send you tons of extra pens to pass out to your guild groups. :-)

Hi Mac,

i looked on Amazon and they were £42.00, then if you add the shipping, customs and duty along with the £12.00 The post office will charge for collecting the customs and duty it makes them one very very very expensive set of markers! Probably £60 or there abouts.

Hugs

I used orange on a half square triangle and panicked when it did not come out with just water. However, when I washed the quilt normally with detergent, all of the marks disappear. Soap seems to be crucial.

Same here, but I do wash my quilts before gifting. All marks are gone after washing/drying.

Ouch! Good grief, that is one hefty price. Do you know anyone taking a trip to the USA? They would make a fine souvenir from the States.

I am going to purchase some of these right away!!! Thanks so much for sharing this info! I was at a quilt retreat and saw a lady with a chalk doodad that had yellow chalk in it. it was such a fine line, and she just brushed it away. She advised me that it just washes out also. I came home and found it on Amazon and I must say I really like it for dark fabrics!!

Thanks for the test and results! I found some on sale and remembered this thread so I bought them. I feel pretty confident that it will work well for me too.

My tests were on the grands clothes, hair, bodies, furniture, dog..... They have shoebox bin full of them. I use the blue color the most on my quilts.
