I recently bought some Golden Threads paper to mark and sew thru. I haven't tried that yet, but hope to very soon. I was told that it tears off easily. I hope so. It is less expensive than the Sulky Solvy, so I'm hoping I like that method.
Another thing I've used is the Bohin mechanical chalk pencil with good luck. When I took a FMQ class, I was told to be careful with other marking pens. Check them on each fabric you have in the quilt as they don't always come off. I did experiment with the blue one, I forget the brand. I had a hard time removing it from the muslin practice sandwich I was doing. That prompted my search for other methods.
Thank you, for the tip I am going to look into this.Please let us know how the Golden Threads paper works out. :P
