Default Ever trace a pantograph for use on DSM or mid-arm sit down?

I like experimenting but can't draw to save my life, but I can follow a line LOL Have you ever tried tracing a continuous line pantograph on paper (so pantograph is reusable) and then sewing on the lines? There are so many cute pantographs out there. I'm not sure I would do it on a king size quilt, but on a baby quilt it seems doable. I have a Tiara II. Your thoughts?

I recently copied a couple single line images from a coloring book, traced them on cardboard and cut out, making my own stencil of sorts. I then used Crayola Washable Markers and randomly placed them on the baby quilt, incorporating them into a meander. That worked well, so thought a pantograph might too. There are so many theme based pantographs I am dying to try. Here is my practice piece using the meander:
