The appeal of it to me is being able to transfer a design after the quilt is already loaded on the rack.
When I use golden threads I first draw my design on whatever piece of paper I've been doodling on. Then I stack precut/torn squares or strips of the golden threads paper (depends on the shape I'm using) and pin them together with my design on top. I unthread my machine and stitch the design through the stack of papers and then pin those to my quilt where ever I want the design. While quilting, I connect the dots. This way I don't have to redraw the picture numerous times and I don't worry about transferring the pencil/ink to the quilt or the thread.
