As long as you are using the crayola washable markers it should wash out, I have never tried an off brand! I also try and use a lighter color like orange or pink. I have never tried a black washable marker, but they are pretty good now and they always wash out of my kids clothes so I don’t see why even the darker ones wouldn’t work!

Wondering about cut proof gloves– Amazon has a gazillion kinds and many are much cheaper than the specialty quilting ones. Anyone tried them?

So glad I’m subscribing now! Do the washable markers really wash out every time? I can’t remember back to my own kids’ childhood.

It keeps the thread from separating and straight so I can insert it into the needle.

Put a straight pin through the stitches and material at each end and cut away.
