Default Quilting with stencils

I am making a quilt for my DGD. It is just a simple quilt, with alternating 6.5 inch block and 4 patch block. I want to FMQ a floral design into the 6.5 inch block. I can do FMQ meandering/stippling somewhat okay but have never tried a specific design. I found a stencil at Hancock Fabric that is a 5 inch floral design, very simple design. They had so many styles and sizes of stencils and it was so tempting!!!

So, just how hard is it to follow the marked lines? Am I setting myself up for failure? LOL!! I will be using a disappearing quilting marker. What are favorite ways of marking with stencils? I saw the chalk and pounce and it was kind of expensive, $18. And what about the quilting paper where you can make you own patterns? How do you use that?
