You got lots of good advice Charlotte, so I won't ramble on and on, but I wanted to add my two cents here.
While I love the Frixion pens for marking and they iron off like a dream, there is one caveat: the red pen left faded lines on my dark fabrics. It looks like it removed some of the fabric dye. That was a great way to put it QuiltE - it left a "ghost mark". Luckily for me, this was not in a place that shows. This might happen with other pen colors as well.
Using a pounce is great too.
The best advice you got was to always test on leftover fabric first.
Enjoy your quilting journey!
