I always use washable markers and have never had a prob with them washing out.
Immediately after finishing a quilt I machine wash and line dry my quilts.

I've used the crayola washable markers on all my quilts. They've always washed out. But, I do wash my quilts after quilting and use a little laudry detergent.

I tried them and the marks ironed out beautifully but reappeared when I got the test fabric cold. I ironed again, washed in hot water, dried on medium heat and then subjected it to cold and they reappeared.

I was so hopeful that they would have been the utopia of marking. I could imagine myself doing some very complicated lines with them.

Well Crap! I guess there is no shortcut, is there.

I use them all the time and have had no problem. The directions on the back of the package though says to wash in hot water, so I put quilt in washer on slow speed with hot water and detergent and when done all markings are gone. I have used orange, yellow, red, green and blue.

I guess I just blew some money since I thought they would be awesome as well. I think I will still give it a try but on something I'm not worried about the outcome! Oh well!

the Fons & Porter chalk marker pencils are not my favorite either. sigh.

Why arn't you using the Frixion? I have used, froze and ironed with mine and have had none of it reappear.

I just heard of Frixion pens this morning. Did you know you can buy them at Staples for $5.98 for a three pack? You can also get them in colors.
Do all the colors wash out???
