what ever you choose to use---you should test---every time on each new project- just because something came out of one does not mean it will come out of the next one- test ever marking tool before marking your fabrics to make sure it's going to come out- a little test can sure save some hard lessons.
i've had the blue water erasing markers not come out-
i've had some chalks not come out
i've had washable quilters pencil---not come out
but then again-i've had all of them also work perfectly-
i've had good luck with things my famous quilting pal has had horrible luck with-i've had her favorite marker ruin a quilt of mine---
each project each tool- needs to be tested.

I pre-wash everything, so I don't know if it mattered or not. Pre-washing was the way I was taught, so old habits are hard to break!

I've used them on probably 5 baby quilts. I usually wash the quilts in the washing machine when finished, and have had no trouble at all with any color coming out. I worry about using darker colors on bright fabric, but I've had no problems at all.
