I bought three brands of fabric markers: Crayola Fabric Markers, Stained by Sharpie, and TULIP 28976 Fine Writers Markers. This review is a comparison.
The TULIP were my favorite, hands down. They flowed just right, neither too dry nor too watery. The colors were vibrant. I will be ordering more. They do not require heat-setting, though I realized this after I ironed everything.
The Sharpie markers were also the driest of the three. They weren't dried out; but it took more strokes to fill in an area. They do not require heat-setting.
The Crayola markers were the wettest, so much so that I got bleeding between colors. This wateriness makes it easier to fill large solid areas, but you need to be careful to wait a few minutes for the color to dry before drawing with another color in an adjacent area. They require heat-setting, which is time-consuming.

They colored very well on both thread and canvas fabric. So far, they are not bleeding. I found that mixing colors works well, and you get different shades based on which pin is on top.
Despite the lack of "need" to heat set the ink, I did throw the bags in the drier on high for 15 mins ... just in case.

Great value for Tulip markers!
By kynundrum on August 27, 2019
I did not have good results with a previous purchase of the Tulip dual-tip (fine/brush) marker set, but these were on sale and I wanted to give them another try. Glad I did. These fine tips were on sale, so I bought two sets. The swatch card shows all colors from both sets. None were dry. A couple (the flesh & light orange) were lighter than the caps, but to the same degree in both sets. The only real difference from one set to the other is that the markers in the first set seemed to have finer points than the ones in the second set. You can see that on the swatch card. The colors in general are not as intense as some other brands, but they are consistent, flow well and are easy to use.

These are great! I wanted to make some onesies for my child and these really let me unleash my creativity. The outfits have been washed a million times and so far the colors have not faded or bled.

Bleed MUCH? Yep!
By Kurry on June 27, 2020
For the sake of argument, maybe this was just a bad batch of markers. But they BLEEEDDDDDDD. The large white area in the video and first picture is polyester. The t-shirt is 100% cotton. Either way, even before touching anything, at least 4 of the markers dripped. Others seemed fine, but when trying to draw a simple line, bled. I’m so disappointed. I was hoping to use them to draw on some face mask. Guess I’ll try a different brand.

Messy but effective!
Reviewed in Canada on August 5, 2021
The packaging is not great. The way the markers are packed, they rattle together. As you can see from the photos, this resulted in one of the blue markers blowing its load all over the inside of the packaging and the other markers. It was quite a mess, but baby wipes did the trick. The marker that dumped its juice and made the mess was completely drained and sucked dry by the experience. But the other markers were fine and they work quite well. I was able to complete the shoe project with no trouble.Reviewed in Canada on August 5, 2021
The markers are spindly (not as thick / sturdy as other fabric markers I have had), which probably means there is not as much ink in them, so they won’t last as long. The tips are pretty fine as well, which is nice for fine line work, but a wider tip would have been easier for my shoe project.
The ink seems to spread and “bleed” more than other fabric markers I have had.
I might buy these fabric markers again, but only if the ink on fabric (shoes) stands the test of time. We’ll have to wait and see. They’re not my favourite, but they’re not the worst either.
