I agree with FelineFanatic ...
* the ghost marks that QuiltnNan mentioned is likely from Frixion markers. I have never seen that happen with actual quilt markers.
* also, for the "official" markers, may become permanent if heated with an iron.
* Likewise, water on top of some of the air erasables may set them into the fabric.
As always, it is best to test test test ... and test some more ... while replicating all aspects of the process.

There are sooo many different marking pens out there that it is hard to remember which one disappears with what technique: air, water, heat, etc. I put a mark on the shaft of the pen "X iron" or "water off" or "iron off", etc. Use a Sharpie marker on the pen shaft or write on those old typewriter correction tapes and tape to the pen. I wonder WHY don't these pen mfr's put the instructions like these right onto the pen. For what they charge it seems they could easily afford to do this and keep their sizable profit margins! Hope this helps.
