OK more info helps a lot. Given that you are using wool the transfer paper option won't work very well as wool always tends to have a bit of a nappy surface (for lack of a better word). Transfer paper doesn't work well on fibrous fabrics like felted wool. It works best on a smooth fabric like cotton.
In fact, I have yet to find any kind of marking tool that works well on wool. Chalk is about the best I have ever come across and even then it is difficult to see. I don't know if press and seal would stick to your fabric well enough to hand embroider lettering. If you are doing machine embroidery (assuming free motion embroidery) it might work better. I'm wondering if you might be better off using a water soluble stabilizer like solvy instead. I don't think it sticks to fabric, you have to pin it place or hoop it with your fabric.
here is a website that explains the different types

And here is You Tube to show how it is used to mark a design and quilt through it which you may be able to adapt for embroidery.
