I just bought a package of those and thought I would take some white fabric and mark all the colors on it, then wash it. Maybe I'll have time to do that today (although between babysitting the DGD, the pest people coming (ants and mice!), and having to get my glasses fixed at some point...). Okay! I'll go mark it right now, before the madness begins, and get back to you later!!

If you are testing the Ultra Clean Washable Crayola Fine Tipped Marking Pens, be sure to iron them also. That way you will know if they work if you hit the fabric with the iron before you wash the ink out. When I ironed my piece, it did wash out even though I ironed it.

I like purple or blue the best. They seem to come out the quickest for me. But I've used red as well on a pure white background & that also came out no problem after a minute or two of hand agitation. I've learned to put a Color Catcher into the tub for that first soak to keep me from panicking that the white has absorbed the marker. Of course, if you don't forget about your quilt soaking for 30 minutes, that might not be a problem in any case.

I have used the Crayola washable markers as well as the CraZart washable markers. I use them all and have never had any issues with them out completely. But do test on all fabrics before using on a quilt, as there may be that one troublesome fabric!

Thank you all, going to try them out on a quilt in the next few days. The quilt is from the book Quilting Wide Open Spaces by Judi Madsen and there is a lot to mark.
