Dries fast. Won't bleed Washable

I made a wedding keepsake quilt for guests to write messages on. After trying Tulip fabric markers (which bled so badly you couldn't see detail) and reading other reviews of several brands of fabric markers, I decided to try the Sharpie brand. I was NOT disappointed! They have been specially made for creating artistic designs on fabrics, but are also suitable for creating/dyeing designs or writing messages on a memory blanket. Since I was making a cotton wedding commemorative blanket, I made a small 9 block (8 inch) test piece. x8") using the same fabric as the quilt to test bleed, dry time, heat set and washfastness. After writing on different pads (using all 8 colors) I immediately ran my finger over the one I was using had just finished writing and it smeared a little (as if there was a shadow) After a few minutes of drying I tried again on another block and nothing was smeared After 30 minutes I heat half of the sample After 2 hours after Drying I washed a test sample with this material on cold water with no fabric softener. It was then dried on low speed with a textile dryer sheet. Both sides (heated/no heat) looked the same. There was no bleeding, no smearing, no discoloration. Well done, Sharpy !Well done.PROS: - dries quickly - does not smear after a short drying time (3-5 minutes) - does not need to be heated - does not smear - can be ku rz be washed (cold) and dried (low) afterwards Ink dries (1-2 hours) CONS: - Can be used longer its 8 colors - May smear if touched the ink before it dries - Only comes in packs of 4 or 8 sold
