I found something similar that I really like. It's called Miracle Film and I believe it's made by Marathon. It's a transparent stabilizer that has perforations allover. I mark my design on the Miracle Film and affix it to the quilt top with a light spray of temporary adhesive. Once quilted through, the film tears away easily because of all the perforations. It is made to come off with heat, but I never need to bother with that because it tears away so easily.
Since you can see through it, placement is a snap.
(The way you remove it with heat is to hover a hot iron over it. The film shrinks into little balls that can be brushed away.)
I do use a thin permanent sharpie for the marks on the film, but I let it dry thoroughly overnight before quilting it, and have had no black transfer onto the quilt. A couple of times I cheated and dried it with a hairdryer on low (and not held close---remember it melts), and that worked well, too.
