There are situations in which the Pilot FriXion pen ink will not wash out. See:

Please note that she only did a few tests. You should always experiment with your starch, etc on your fabric and your water, etc.

My husband used it to write a check, not the signature just the amount! We sure were surprised when we got a call asking if we really intended to send a signed blank check!

Never have had a problem using them.
These are what I also use as I have to use polyester batting and you can't iron it. I have never had a problem but I only do a small area at a time.

I use the blue mark b gone that comes out in water, but not on pink fabrics. It will leave a mark on pink.
I also use the purple air erase markers and have not ever had a problem with them. I don't always quilt fast enough and have to remark sometimes.

I have used the washable markers by crayola, they made a nice bright line but one of the colors did not come out, it left a shadow where I quilted - I don't remember which color.

I have had a problem with the blue chaco markers not coming out of fabrics so I don't use them now.

Yes, I love them. Just make sure if you don't get to your project immediately, that it isn't under a fluorescent light, because it will disappear within a couple hours.

I have used the Mark B Gone pens when making garments where I might be marking something that will be hidden in the seam anyway. I have been tempted to mark on the quilt top but have been afraid that the marks would not be gone.

I tried the washable Crayola markers, also. The color I used left a yellow line. I probably left it on too long.

I've had good luck swith Frixion pens. Someone mentioned yellow. Haven't seen that yet but I've been hoping they come out with a light color. I'm going to a quilt show today and will be on the lookout.
