Even if you let the ink dry completely before attaching to the quilt? I have not had any problems with the thread becoming colored, I let it dry completely and test by rubbing to see if it is first. The foam board for tracing is in case the ink soaks thru the paper, it hasn't.
I have a friend who has experimented with those washable crayon markers just in case -- so far though she hasn't had any problem with the ink going onto the quilt.
