Me too...but with the blue water soluble sewing pen.
I've been kind of chicken to try the crayola thanks for the tip.....also...if you like chalk but run out you can use corn starch.

I had a quilt that I put back for 4 years that was marked with the brown marker. Finally quilted it, crossed my fingers and washed the quilt. It came out with no sign of that 4-yr old marking. Thought sure that after 4 years it would be permanent....not!

I am going to the dollar store today to buy a pack. I have been using pounce, and frisson pens, and will try the washable pens to trace stencil designs on my hand pieced and quilted farmer's wife sampler. I will test sample first. Great idea!

I was in a store the other day and while waiting on line to pay my attention was drawn to those Crayola pens. My instinct was to buy them, but I didn't. I'll be going back to get them now. Should have followed my instinct.

Thanks for the tip, I would have never thought to try wash-able markers!

I had used tracing paper and made my stitches small and that worked pretty good, but now they have a water soluable paper...not sure where you buy it since I haven't tried it yet...
