Crayola washable markers
Inquiring if anyone has experience with the Crayola washable markers that they have left them on the fabric for an extended time. I have a small quilt that another is taking my attention so am putting the marked one aside for the time being. I have some concern if that is allowing the marker to become permanent.

I have used them and left in for a few weeks with no problem. I always test my fabrics before marking and I stay away from the red, orange and brown colors because I have had problems removing them. That said are you talking a couple of weeks or months?

My Crayola fine line washable markers have always washed out in the laundry, after I've finished a quilt. Many times the markings have been on the quilt for a month or more. Those markers are wonderful!

I did have an issue one time and I think it had to do with ironing. I used the washable Crayola marker to mark dots at the 1/4" location on the inside of an 8 point star quilt block. After I finished sewing, I steam pressed the block paying close attention to the middle. Then I saw a brown stain where the marker had started running on the block. I could not get it out.
