They can also leave a ghost image on very light fabric. I have read that if you starch after marking, the marks can also become permanent, and I have heard at least one horror story of them coming back after a quilt was shipped and never completely went away again. I know some people love them, but they are not for me.
Yes, I also have heard of 'problems' arising from these pens. If I use mine (now) it will only be for cutting lines.

We don't know what the chemicals in Frixion pens will do to our quilts in the future.
