The ones I bought my son actually have the word "washable" surrounded by bubbles - and yes they do actually wash off almost anything. I have not tried them on a quilt, but I used them when I made a "Patrick Star" costume for one of my girls a couple of years ago and it washed right out.

ipquilter OFFLINE Posts: 622	I get mine at Walmart. Look in the school supply aisle...elementary school. Look for the "Crayola" brand. Look for "WASHABLE"--not erasable. You'll find them. Honest! Sherry in S MS, where my last baby will graduate high school this year. Wow. :shock:

Crayola Washable Markers? 18 Mar 2008 13:45 #15792

ladyquilter OFFLINE Posts: 754 Thank you received: 37	Okay, I went out looking for the washable markers and wasn't able to find anything that actually said "Washable." I did find one that said "Erasable." Do you think that is the same thing? JoJo

ipquilter OFFLINE Posts: 622	When I tested the crayola markers I rinsed the marks out in running water in the kitchen sink. The marks came out but were pretty fresh. On my finished quilts the marks come out in the washer with a little bit of regular laundry detergent. I always wash my quilts when they're finished and haven't had any problems with getting the marks out. Sherry

I have a question about the Crayola Washable Markers for quilt markings. Do you handle the washing as with the wash-out markers? That is, no soap just rinse in clear water? Will soap set the markers? I've heard so much about the wash-out markers leaving brown marks on quilts after alot of years, but I've never had that problem. I wonder if the Crayola markers will leave residue after many years? I'll probably try the Crayola markers, but I'm too chicken to use them on a very special quilt!

I usually use a Pentel Techniclick 0.5 pencil to mark quilting lines on light fabric. It marks very lightly, sometimes gone with the quilting.
