They have more dye and less wax. You set the color by putting paper toweling or some paper over the drawing and ironing. It pulls out the wax and sets the color. They wash beautifully

I also do this but do you add crayons first & then hand embroider or or color after it's stitched?????

I haven't finished my 50 state and 50 state stars quilt that I have done with crayola crayons yet. However I did use cotton and put a paper towel on the ironing board, placed a paper towel on top of the picture "face up" used hottest cotton setting with NO Steam and pressed for about 5-10 sec. in each spot until I could smell it - not too long or it will scorch. You can tell by the feel of the block when it has worked it seems. If this washes out I will be just furious. I have worked too long and too hard on this quilt.
You might try going to crayon quilts on the internet and see if you can come up with a site that gives you info on doing a crayon quilt. I did, but sorry I can't remember the name of the site just now.
Sorry you had problems with this. Keep us posted on the outcome.
