Other options:

Make a template of freezer paper and iron on and stitch around it (only works for outline designs)

Transfer design on to quilt using transfer paper (works like old fashioned carbon paper), like Saral or Transdoodle. Both products come in a graphite color for light fabrics and white for dark fabrics. Just make sure it is wax free transfer paper. Whatever you do... DON'T use old fashioned carbon paper!! Can be done before or after sandwiching or as you go.

Make a light table. Google how to make a light table, there are many methods. The least expensive is to put a piece of plexiglass between two chairs with a lamp underneath the plexi. Then trace design directly onto fabric using water soluble marker, crayola washable marker, chalk, Ceramic pencil, sliver of soap or whatever tool you like best AND that you have tested on the fabric to ensure it comes out. Needs to be done BEFORE sandwiching.
