Default Sharpie Warning

I've been making a Christmas tree quilt that I foundation pieced. I used a Sharpie to draw the lines on the foundation. I figured Sharpies are permanent so once it dried it wouldn't be a problem. I had completed the top and was pressing it today. I had trouble getting one part to lay flat so I sprayed it with a bit of Best Press. The Sharpie bled thru from the back when I did that and made a mess of the white background. I ended up having to take apart 3 sections of the piecing and put new white fabric in and then resew them together which took most of today. Don't ever believe that Sharpies are permanent even though that's what the pen says
