I use Golden paper and sometimes even photo copies themselves to do custom work. Yes you spend a little time removing the paper. Tweezers as a last resort.

I normally freehand with a few registration marks using chalk , or draw a spine of vinefeather with the dissappearing ink pen. But when l need several identical designs, l draw it out, line it up where l can use it on quilt on the PANTO SHELF, and use my stylus, quilting as l would a panto...only this time, just the block(s) l want. Then l do sashing fills etc. my usual way doing fmq.

Do you have a laser light on your machine?
If so, draw your design on paper, tape it down on a large plastic and do like you would on a pantograph. |
I've had trouble making the chalk and pounce work well. I saw on a Threads video about marking fabric that a mixture of cornstarch and water works well for marking garments. I've also used a design that I very carefully align and quilt from the back of the machine like a pantograph.

Ditto about the laser light. Works great.
