I also like to draw a design on Sulky Solvy with washable markers and pin it to the quilt to quilt over it. Once it's done, you trim off the bulk of the extra and the rest washes away in the laundry. I did some pretty quilting that way on the quilt in my avatar.
Some people use Glad wrap Press and Seal to mark the design on and then FM over it. It would be a lot cheaper than Solvy. I am going to give that a try.
