I've done quite a few small pp ing quilts & projects and have used the spritzing method and works good...definitely use tiny stitching and also i like the suggestion of wrinkling the quilt to help remove the pieces......i've made several ice cone quilts for charity and also a baby gift......i sit in my kitchen and peel away and sweep the floor when done.

I do it while watching TV. My best way is to fold and score the seam line I am planning to rip with my fingernail, then hold the side that stays firmly while tearing the paper. I generally don't sweat the small bits either. However, I have tweezers sitting by for the niggling bits that are too big to leave and too difficult to grab.

Lebanon, OR. I listed it that way when I first joined to avoid any issues until I got to know my way around, and make sure I would not get spammed, which never happens here, and I have no idea how to change it now...I am about 35 miles south of Salem.

if you Google No Tear Paper piecing, there is a video ( I thought I saved) but for some reason I can't find it and remember trying to link it up but I've tried this and it is so easy. No tear stitches out.http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LE...c8j.0osG95uCo- See if this works.
