Has anyone used these on 100% cotton (like a tshirt)? What happened? Will the design hold up to washing?

The color is much more dull and faded/pastel, and while it washed, it did not last very long, while the crayons on 100 % poly look as bright 30 years later... This incompatibility w/ all-cotton is why I think the crayons have never been well known.

I have washed mine, but I would not suggest putting them in the dryer (duh).

I throw them in the washing machine, color cycle, warm. Dryer, low heat. No problem. They work great.

We washed our 2 with no problem. Let them air dry on the clothes line & air out for a week of sun, wind & rain! No problems. Hope this helps you. God bless!

I have used them to mark my children's clothing with them name when they visit their grandparents, and a few other items for what does where to assemble things such as couch covers, etc. They seem to hold up well with regular washing, but, not sure about detergents with bleach as I don't use them. The black ones seem to hold up much longer. My eldest Granddaughter made a design on one of ther t-shirts and colored it in with the Sharpies and the colors held up with washing OK. But, I would not recommend using it on silky or stretchy material.

I'm not sure about this since I trimmed and hemmed mine. I feel like they are actually all cotton because of the way they wash and the way they take paint.

I haven't had them shrink for me. I do wash with hot water, rinse with cold, and tumble dry most of the time. These haven't lost their shape, distorted the embroidery design or shrunk away from the fabric borders I've added.

I used these on a 100% cotton t-shirt. This shirt has been washed and dried many, many times (at least 30 times). The ink has begun to fade slightly. I don't think a quilt would get the hard wear that this shirt has.

Yes, they wash and dry nicely. I used a regular temp that I do with all my clothes. No shrinkage.

I put them in the washer and have put them in the dryer and it doesn't seem to bother them. The only thing is that the edges pick up lint from the dryer. They are invincible!

Yes, I was afraid washing would ruin them. Let me know what your friends advise (thanks :) We just keep the covers on them and wash the covers, and air the duvets out in the open air (shade). Use flannel covers for winter and cotton covers for summer. Seems to work fine. Good luck with yours.

Are these very thin? I would like to purchase but not sure if they're durable after washes. I don't want them to rip! :(

Yes, but as with any cotton product, go easy on the bleach. And launder them as soon as you're finished with a task. You have a much netter shot at getting them pretty clean. Although I have to say, these are SO cheap....if one got really bad, I'd toss it.

They're nice for a bed but not sure how they would hold up to a lot of washings....I have mine on guest bed and haven't washed it yet....

I have only used the product on 100% cotton. Probably try a scrap of the material and see if it holds. :o)

I have used them in both the washer and drier. Be aware though if the garment is thin and wrinkles you will dry wrinkles into the garment. If the clothing is a small item like socks or a larger item like a wool sweater that won't wrinkle it should dry fine. With larger items I would make sure to adjust the item a few times so that the middle doesn't stay damp. I am not the manufacture or a clothing specialist but what I'd like to think of is a professional house wife/mom.

I had them put on my husbands jacket with no problems but the jacket is always dry cleaned. Not sure they would stand up to washing.
