Great point, I never thought about the iron actually setting the ink in, invisible or not, makes sense! I haven't used them except in seam since I ended up with white bleached lines on green cloth.

I still use Frixion for certain types of marking but I attach a label to the quilt telling the owner that if the quilt becomes cold, the only way to cause the marks to disappear again is to use a hot iron.
If you use a scrap to test the Frixion pen, it may wash out with stain treatment solutions but be warned, once that ink is ironed to cause transparency, there is nothing, and I do mean nothing, that will remove it!!
