Question Signature Quilt Problem, Please Help

Hey all,

I wash tested some fabrics that I am going to use in a signature quilt for a wedding. I used cotton fabric and wrote with Pigma pens. When I washed them in the sink the ink came out a bit faded. What am I doing wrong? I waited at least a day for the ink to sink into the fabric before heat setting them. Now I did use stain-lifting detergent and scrubbed pretty hard on some of them. Should I try again and just wash them in the washer like normal? What else can I do to help the ink stay?
