I've often used white tissue paper like you use for wrapping presents behind my machine appliqué using a satin stitch. It tears right off. Sometimes I put a tiny dab of glue stick to keep a piece from shifting. Try a sample before committing to your big project.

I usually use A4 copy paper. If using satin stitches the larger pieces will almost pop out, and the rest will soften with soaking. Then I have used a firm brush to scrape off the sodden paper with no harm done to thread.
