I have no experience with the JoAnn's eraser. I will, however, say I have never had an issue with any #2 pencil markings coming out in the wash. I've used regular #2 pencil; mechanical pencil (with the same #2 lead) as well as one of the other refillable 'quilting' marking lead 'pencils' (the ones that come with the chalk markers of the same style). Those I did find particularly messy though. But I've never had any of them not come out in the wash.
Is there a reason you don't want to wash the quilt? Or are you just waiting to wash until after it's bound? I would bind and then wash. That is what I do all the time, regular detergent, perm. press cycle and then dry on a perm. press cycle and NEVER had issues.
Good luck.
