Please please please heed the warning.

I tested the crayola washable markers on a variety of fabrics and they did NOT wash out.

Mine washed out, but I totally agree to test them.

Promise?? I have 3 kids 6 and under. I have been wanting to make a quilt for myself, it's just not fair that all these other people get to be warm and cozy under my masterpieces and I'm not. LOL ANYWAY, The marker idea sounds like a fun one to let them decorate some squares for my quilt. If I let them color on them and then dry them w/o washing them first will it set the color?

I demonstrated the Crayola markers on one of the QuiltersTV show. I was marking batting to cut for trapunto. They were the only markers that would mark the batting. They washed out very well. However, when I tried it on muslin it took a bit of work to get it out but it did. I was just washing it by hand in a sink at a class. Might come out with washing in the machine. They do wash out but TEST first on the fabric you are using.

Thank you all. Don't think I will buy them.

I learned the hard way as a beginner to keep away from heat when a marker says washable. I use Crayola washable markers and use cool water and let it sit for a bit. So far I have had no problems.
