Do you need fabric crayons to transfer designs to fabric or can you use regular crayons?

I’ve seen crayon drawings transfered to t-shirts on crafting shows on tv. Has anyone tried this? Do you HAVE to use crayons especially made for fabric or would regular old crayons work? Thought it would be a fun project to do with my nieces.

    Crayons won’t even write on fabric. The wax won’t come off onto soft surfaces. And then it would just wash right out.

    I think that these are made by scanning a picture into your computer and then printing it on t-shirt transfer paper and then ironing it on to a shirt.
