Yes, I did heat set the crayon and some of the colored wax comes off so you need the paper toweling.

I've bookmarked this for reference. Thanks for taking the time for this test.

I'm behind on the QB but in our quilting meeting just last week, we were crayoning. Felt like a child again. This technique seems to be quite popular now. Haven't tried washing the design I crayoned last week yet. Next step!

thanks for the info.

Thanks! That's helpful information!

I don't want to sound critical, but I've never used paper towels for the heat setting. I've used wax paper between the colored fabric and the pressing cloth with towels underneath. The extra wax comes off on the wax paper and the crayon is set in the fabric.
I have had good luck with it washing in regular detergent. I'm not a bleach kind of gal. I've ruined too many things with bleach.

I've never tried doing a Crayola quilt, but this is nice information for when I get ready to make one. Thank you for being our "testing" laboratory.

Thank you for showing us.

Thanks for the valuable info. I was wondering about this.

Thanks for doing that test and sharing the results! This is going on my long and ever increasing "things to do" list.
