I did a test to see if the Crayola Ultra Washable markers would wash out or set if ironed. I took my test a bit to the extreme, in the sense that I marked darker than I usually would (went over each mark an extra time, so double the ink) and ironed longer than I usually would (I set the iron for a good 10 to 15 seconds on the marks without moving), and washed afterwards with just water and no soap. My iron was at it's hottest setting. The fabric is 100% cotton. I hope this helps others.
on the steam setting, it ran the ink a bit, but nothing horrible. The red and pink left a ghost of a mark which I pointed out with arrows as I'm not sure it will show up on the monitor. They probably would have come out had I used soap. Nonetheless I would probably steer away from those colors, to be on the safe side.

Hi Mac,
i looked on Amazon and they were £42.00, then if you add the shipping, customs and duty along with the £12.00 The post office will charge for collecting the customs and duty it makes them one very very very expensive set of markers! Probably £60 or there abouts.

I am going to purchase some of these right away!!! Thanks so much for sharing this info! I was at a quilt retreat and saw a lady with a chalk doodad that had yellow chalk in it. it was such a fine line, and she just brushed it away. She advised me that it just washes out also. I came home and found it on Amazon and I must say I really like it for dark fabrics!!

They have shoebox bin full of them. I use the blue color the most on my quilts.
