What I sometimes do as an option to FMQ is trace designs onto parchment baking paper, then I pin the design to the quilt and sew/quilt the design that way. Parchment baking paper is thin and tears easily off after it's been quilted through. I have a folders of designs on my computer and I also use stencils from LQS' as designs plus I've made up several on my own. I hope this helps.
