Frixion pens and batiks don't mix

I love the frixion pens and have never had any problem using them until now. I marked a simple quilting design on a baby quilt. The marks disappeared completely on the regular cotton when I put the iron to it, but it left a faint light mark on the batik. I'm a novice at FMQ and it was only noticeable where I went off the lines. I don't use batiks as a rule, but am curious if anyone here has had this problem or could it have been this particular batik. I didn't test it on the batik before I marked the whole quilt---my bad.

You know what's also interesting about these pens. You can iron off the mark, but if the item gets cold, the mark comes back. I marked up a piece of linen into sections for cross-stitching with a frixion pen and left it in my car in the winter and the lines came back that I had ironed off.
