I really like paper piecing, and almost always just copy the patterns onto the cheapest printer paper I can find. I use a really small stitch and most of the time don't have much of a problem getting the paper off. If I do have an issue with getting the paper off cleanly I just lay a damp washcloth over the paper for a minute or two. Works really well.

I spritz with water just to dampen at the seams, it comes right off

If you want to make a REAL MESS with this, decide to throw the top in the washer through a gentle cycle to let the pieces get soggy and wet.... then they are too wet to pull off, you have to let the whole thing dry, the paper is stuck like with glue to the fabric, you have paper bits all over the front to pick off with your fingernails one at a time......need I say more????? JUST DON'T EVEN CONSIDER DOING THIS!!!!! (Guess how I know this!!!!)

I use a tie off stitch at each end of the sewing line and a slightly smaller stitch. I fold the paper on the stitching line before I try to pull it off. The tie off stitch helps the stitches to stay in place and the smaller stitches give the paper more perforation holes so it tears easier. I really like the accuracy the thangles has and my blocks go together much easier.
