I use them too. But don't leave the markings too long before washing. Ask me how I know.
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. |
Thanks for the info... I wouldn't have thought of it but it is a great tip

Sometimes the answer is right in front of us and we don't go out of the box to see it...thanks for the tip...have plenty in the grandgirls color box.

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 am a Dollar Store user also. I buy their washable markers and use them on my fabric and they have always washed out.

I never thought to try them. Thanks for posting because it sounds like a great idea! I will definitely get some.

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!

Talking about marking a quilt, has anyone used freezer paper to free motion quilt a design? If so, does the paper come off in the wash? I hate ripping it off because its ripping off some of my stitches no matter how much I try holding the stitches down.

I did not have good luck with crayola markers. so i don't go there now.
