[QUOTE=fatquarters;7437626]WARNING. I actually did use this method once. It was recommended to me, and I thought it was a good idea. I used it in the dark coloured sashing of a quilt. HOWEVER....the tiny bits of paper never came out! Now you need to know that some of my stitches were quite small, as a beginner stitch length was not something I was good at. ANd I thought it was not a problem because I thought this thin paper would disintegrate in the wash. After 10-20 washes the paper bits remain. Because the fabric was dark and the paper white, it looks horrible.[/QUOT
I had that same problem when I first did it, but am getting better with my stitch length. And now I just fold paper over stitching, press with fingernail and it comes off pretty easy. Still pick out with tweezers where stitching is tight and then use wide painters tape to pick up fine pieces of paper
