Success with Crayola washable markers :)
#12
My fabric was 100% cotton from the LQS. I didn't test each individual color which could have been one of my mistakes. I tried one color and stupid me I didn't test each shade of yellow I used. The first color came out but when I switched to another color in the same package it didn't come out.
If it works for you that is great. I'm just not willing to take that chance again.

I tried a white piece of fabric today with washable markers, and guess what....it washes away completely!! I am SOOOOO happy!! I hate chalk and pencil markers...they just don't work. I can't wait to use the markers on the little quilt I am working on. I'll show the result tomorrow!!

I have had some of the marking pencisl stay for a while and when washed out with a wet cloth, return after the fab. dries, supposedly wash away markers for sewing and quilting. I am afraid of using crayola markers or any type like that , after teaching first grade for years, and seeing these get on children's and my clothes. Too often the washable markers were really permanent markers I use a lot of yellow school chalk to mark on quilts, isn't sharp for fine lines but will dust off and does wash out.

Here is a picture of a little of the "success" I have had with Crayola washable markers. I am now completely redoing this quilt.
Needless to say I will NEVER again use them.

I have used Crayola Washable markers - the purple, brown, red and green and they have washed out completely. I'm trying to remember if I have used them on white or very pastel fabric. I don't think so. But I loved how they worked when I did use them.

I just have not had a lot of success with any kind of marker for quilting, except for using tissue paper pinned on top, and then there is all that picking out. I wish someone would invent a really good truly washable marker for quilting. They'd make a million bucks!! :-) I am going to go ahead with the Crayola washables, and I will report on result. I have my stain stick handy just in case. :thumbup:

Too scary an idea for me!!!! If I'm doing lines, I use masking tape and sew right next to each piece, on either side. It comes in 1", 2" and other widths and I know the tape is coming right off with no problem....
