I am a fan of golden threads paper and have used it several times. It is a handy tool. Just be cautious on what you use to draw on it. I had the graphite from a water soluble pencil I used embed in the thread. Thankfully it washed out. I read a horror story from someone else who used permanent marker to mark the paper and it transferred to the quilt when stitching. Now I will only mark the paper with the blue water soluble markers. That way if there is any transfer it will wash out. Another thing I have used when the quilt is already sandwiched is a transfer paper called transdoodle. I have only used the white so can't vouch for how other colors come out. It is somewhat spendy and comes out almost too well. I pre-marked too large a portion of the quilt and it rubbed out (I was handquilting so a lot of manipulation) so now I only mark as I go with that product. It may not be so fragile/temporary when rack quilting.
