I followed some trail to Freckled Whimsey's blog a few months back. After seeing her test for fabric marking pens, I did my own test, pretty much the same way she did, except that I did prewash and iron my fabric to freezer paper. I had stocked up on the pretty Sharpie colored pens from Costco, thinking that was the answer. I tested 8 pens, including the pigma pen, which always looks washed out to me. I ironed the test strip after writing on it. My bathroom handsoap is watered down clear Dawn. Crayola for fabric won in my test. I had already seen a quilt from 4-H camp, where each camper and member of the staff drew and wrote on a square with the Crayola markers for fabric. I had a chance to machine wash and dry that quilt after it was completed, and it looked as good as new. Thanks for the link to the laundry marker, I will try that one sometime in the future.
