I have used the Crayola Washable markers many times with good luck. I did find out that if you make a mistake and spritz it with water it will run instead of coming out, but it does all come out when washed.
I forgot to mention I very seldom pre wash my fabrics. I like the feel of working with unwashed fabric.

I only use Washable Markers for marking my quilts. I use them to mark measurements and use them to trace stencils for fmq. I have never had a problem w/them. I you use them for marking anything and find you've made a mistake, then use the tide to go stick and wait a few min and let it dry and then remark and go on. I Love Them.

i've had the blue water erasing markers not come out-
i've had some chalks not come out
i've had washable quilters pencil---not come out
but then again-i've had all of them also work perfectly-
i've had good luck with things my famous quilting pal has had horrible luck with-i've had her favorite marker ruin a quilt of mine---
each project each tool- needs to be tested.

I learned about these markers at a free motion quilting class. The instructor used green. She said she tested the markers by leaving the color on her test piece for a long time and then washing and it all came out!! So, since then I haven't hesitated to use them.

I use water soluble markers and have had no problems.
I recently found a pen at my local quilt shop made by Pilot called FriXion ball pens and it it incredible. It disappears with the easy press of an iron. I have ordered a package of 8 (assorted colors) from Amazon.com. I love it because I don't have to wet my fabric to remove the ink as is the case with the water soluble markers.
