I'm like Feline Fanatic--I like the BeGone blue marker and would add that if you quilt somewhere that gets lots of sunlight to not leave it sitting. I also like those purple air erase too.
I suggest you not use press & seal as a "tracing paper"--it's a bear to get to peel off if your stitching is fairly tight.
Also make sure to check that your thread doesn't absorb any marker and hold the color--I had that problem with Crayola markers once with a poly thread.

I would use freezer paper, not wax paper- wax paper can leave residue behind ( wax- that can be difficult to remove) I made that mistake once. Freezer paper the shiny side irons onto the fabric with no residue. I use freezer paper in my sewing room almost every day- much more than in the kitchen.

Ditto on the Crayola Ultra Washable markers. Not only do they work nicely, but they're relatively inexpensive and come in a variety of colors. I love 'em. Presently, I'm marking out a quite intricate quilting motif on plain, pure white and doing so without any trepidation.
You'll love them.
