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

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'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.
