When I have printed plans, I use a spray glue to glue the plans to poster board (a good amount of glue), then cut out the poster board. To use them just lightly glue the poster board to the foam (just a little so it is tacky), then use the hot wire to cut out the part. It will cut through the foam, but not the poster board. Then when done, pop off the poster board from the foam.
The only note is to make sure you don't push on the wire to much with the template, this will push the wire over and give you a cut that is not 90 degrees.
