Hello PiecesinMn - No reason why you shouldn't use the same paper for both - it's just that the brown paper I have is stronger than the paper I use for tracing, so it can stand up to all the bunching up and crinkling it has to do when I am doing the machine stitching.
I haven't a clue what parchment paper is. It sounded like a Miriam joke to me. Different countries, different products, different names... All you American ladies are going to have to experiment and discuss between yourselves! To all my compatriots - Waitrose own brand greaseproof paper!
