I use regular printer paper most of the time but if I am using a lot of directional fabrics in my project I like to use vellum. It makes it easier to orient the fabric correctly if I can see through the paper. I have never tried the water soluble foundation paper because I like to use steam when I am pressing and I think it would get gummy.
