I haven't tried it yet, but it makes sense, and she said she'd tried all the different "quilting" markers and these were much better! Also frixion pens might work, as the marks disappear when ironed, but can be brought back with a little while in the freezer, they then apparently wash out completely, although I have not tested this either!
Good luck :-)
I bought some water color pencils to mark quilts with. Tested it out on a piece of fabric and could not get them to wash out. They just spread out over the fabric. So be sure to test them first if you buy any.
