Another vote for Crayola washable markers!!! Love them and they wash out with no problem. Mine say "Ultra-Clean Washable Markers". I have used Frixion pens (though sometimes I had a light shadow on darker fabrics), Golden Threads paper or tracing paper on a wide roll with success too. When I used the Pounce, I had better luck with the iron-off and putting it on lightly, only one section at a time. Otherwise the hopping foot on my Tiara would bounce the chalk right off.
