I use white chalk for marking my feather spines but do the rest freehand. Trying to follow lines for quilting is more difficult for me. I use designs that I have practiced and can do without drawing. A way to start FMQ is to pick a shape you can do easily. One of my first was the stars that you learned to draw in grade school with loops between to move around the quilt.
I really like the Tuesday tutorial done by Lori Kennedy and she quilts between lines or marked points. Her site is www.theinboxjaunt.com/
