Are these actually crayons or are they markers? This is a very interesting concept that I would like to try. I've always had trouble seeing my markings especially on quilts with busily patterned fabrics like the one I am now quilting. However, the backing of the quilt is muslin, and so I am quilting on the backside of the quilt just so I can see my markings. I am using a Sewline Ceramic pen in turquoise.
They are markers. They're inexpensive and I've always been able to find a color that showed up on any fabric. Sometimes on a large quilt I use more than one color and they get very colorful, but it's quick, easy and cheap
