Please, which color ultra clean washable marker do you find comes out of white fabric the best? Thank you!

MFord did a test a while ago; they all washed out fine, except the reds which left some shadows. You can see her results here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...ml#post7277310

Thanks, I have a quilt to mark tomorrow.

Always test to be sure. What might come out easily on one project may not come out of the next. I wa gifted some washable markers that state they wash off from hands/ skin easily. ( might) wash out of some fabrics when washed with Hot water and strong detergent. :(
i prefer using ( made for marking quilts) air/ water disappearing markers. Since that's what they are made for. Pit also seems to depend on if your fabrics were prewashed, any starch/ sizing used.... Lots of variables when using tools made for something else. So, to be on the safe side, test before marking a whole quilt. i marked a whole quilt once, the marks came out of the top fine, but ( seeped) through to the backing and stayed there forever. I was so upset, & it was a marker a quilt shop owner talked me into. |
I have the best luck with green, blue or purple, but all of them come out for me with minimal effort.

I've yet to see an instance where the Ultra Clean markers didn't come out -- ever. Here's what the Ultra Clean packaging looks like: http://shop.crayola.com/search?q=ultra%20clean Here's a link to them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Crayola-Ultra-...r_1_14&sr=8-14 Please note that I linked to the Classic Colors. I have not tried the Bold Colors, though I imagine those come out just as easily. The Ultra Clean markers are available at your local Target, Walmart, Kmart, etc. |
What Bree said... The ultra clean washables are fantastic!

I love the Crayola ultra clean fine tip markers...I have used all colors - no problems

I am old fashion and still use the Blue be gone when marking white fabric. Never had any problem in over 20 years.
