I LOVE the Crayolas. I've had the marks be on the quilt for 4-6 months and wash out completely. I followed a hint to soak the quilt for 20 mins then wash as normal. Also for quilting or hand quilting I use #7738 from the following link

Very fine point. Tip: I store mine upside down inside my bra to keep it warm while using it! Erases quite quickly depending how heavily its used. I use this one for hand quilting small blocks - QAYG style.

On dark fabrics the Clover Chaco liner works best for me. I find that after marking and just before sewing if you blow on the marked line it takes most of the "free" chalk of the top so it doesn't get "stitched into" the fabric but is still very visible. Never had a problem with the lines not disappearing.
