My iron was at it's hottest setting. The fabric is 100% cotton. I hope this helps others.

on the steam setting, it ran the ink a bit, but nothing horrible. The red and pink left a ghost of a mark which I pointed out with arrows as I'm not sure it will show up on the monitor. They probably would have come out had I used soap. Nonetheless I would probably steer away from those colors, to be on the safe side.
GREAT THREAD!!!! Thank you all for your feedback on these markers. You should be a product tester for Consumer Reports! I bet if you wrote this up into an article, one of the quilting magazines would print it! Send the information to the Crayola folks, too. They may send you tons of extra pens to pass out to your guild groups. :-)
