And, yes, I used a very short stitch just as I always do with copy paper. I love to paper piece but don't use the vellum I bought anymore.
I was advised years ago to use
25% rag vellum. I bought a very large amount on sale at Office Depot - online - as we don't have them in Phoenix anymore. It was way cheaper than Carol Doak's PPpaper. It worked just great!
Regular scrapbooking vellum has to be firmer to stand up to the stamping and folding and all. Too heavy for PP.
