I have only used the peach color and the blue but I have been careful to use a lighthand with the blue and it was on a blue toned fabric just in case. The white is ok. I used the white to mark the navy blue border on my quilt and those marks came out with no problem.
I did read on another board that sometimes the sizing chemicals in the different fabrics affects how the chalk gets into the fabric. As I said, I have used the yellow before with no problems so maybe there is something to that theory.
I would definitely try washing it and then letting it air dry. You may be lucky and have it come out in the first wash. If the marks don't completely come out completely then try working with some of the stain remedies that others have suggested.
