They are permanent ONLY when you don't want them to be :)
They do bleed and fade so be sure to heat set and hand wash in vinegar after each color for a more durable coloring...

I drew out my design with regular sharpies and sprayed it with 90% alcohol. It will bleed. After that I took fabric sharpies(I just found them the last time I went shopping) and traced it. Heat set and your done.
The fabric sharpies don't bleed with alcohol. We tried it.
