I tried it once. It would be fine for quilting that wasn't too dense. I had the most problem pulling the wrap out of quilting lines that intersected. That was almost impossible to get all out. Pulling on those areas tended to loosen the threads.

I took a class with Kent Mick and he showed us a method using the press 'n seal. He drew a pattern on a plain piece of paper then laid press 'n seal over the design. Then he stitched (without thread) the design with the machine. You then have the design perforated on the press 'n seal. Next peel the paper away and lay the press 'n seal onto your quilt and tape it down with painters tape. Then you use a "pounce" pad and rub the chalk into the perforated design. When you remove the press 'n seal you have the design marked on your quilt

I have used this many times with Frixion or Crayola Ultra-Clean markers to transfer my designs. Shorten your stitch length a bit to facilitate removal, but if the quilting is dense it can be difficult to remove. I found THE BEST way to remove the Press and Seal from tight areas is to use the eraser end of the Frixion pen or a clean white artist's eraser. It grabs the plastic wrap and makes removal a breeze.

I use parchment paper like you use in baking. It is stronger than tissue paper, less expensive than Golden Threads paper, is transparent enough to trace design and tears away easily. I just pin it in place. I use a frixion pen so there's no worry about ink transfer.

I'll have to try stitching on the lines to perforate and use a pounce to see how the design transfers. It doesn't seem like the holes would be big enough but I will sure give it a try.

I have found that drawing my quilting pattern on Golden Thread paper with Crayola washable pens works the best for me. At one time I used ultra fine line black permanent markers but they did leave black dots on my quilts. With the Crayola pens I have no problem. I pin the paper to my quilt using quilting safety pins.

Read about the Crayola pens on this board so a big thank you for the one who first brought the idea to our attention.

Use a larger needle (size 16 or18)

Yes I have tried that method and never again! I liked to never get the stuff pulled off.

Since you are talking about Frixion pens have you ever had a problem with the design reappearing? I bought a set and like how they work but I don't want to give someone a quilt to have the pattern show up later.

I tried it once and never again there are much better things to use but I have decided to stick with free motion as the press and seal was a nightmare to pull off

Check out u-tube. There's a few videos on using netting,[ the bridle stuff.] You trace the motif onto the netting to make a stencil and then use it just as you would a regular stencil. And it is re-usable. Haven't tried it yet but I will.
