Made small blocks drew, ironed, placed in freezer, marks came back, re-ironed the marks, placed in washing machine with laundry, placed back in freezer, marks did nor reappear. II suggest doing this test with a small portion of the fabric you intend to use it on before using the pens on the entire project
Thank you for sharing your experience, that is exactly what I needed to hear...
As I now always post wash my completed quilts, good to know the marks will not return
