Yes, I trace the panto, on my large dining room table, using a light box and Crayola Ultra-Clean fine tipped markers onto the backing (or the quilt top if it is lighter colored and easy to see). After sandwiching I quilt from the traced side. I tried the Golden papers but my way allows me to do more complicated quilting and not have to rip out all that darn paper LOL I do have a Tiara with a 16" throat.
