Also, I use 1.5 mm stitch length which perforates the paper well. This works for me anyway.
The quilt in my avatar was paper-pieced....a lot of it.
When using the freezer papaer method, you iron the fabric to the paper and stitch right next to the line, so no paper to remove! Just peel the freezer paper off when the block is complete, and use it on the NEXT one, no long evening sitting in front of the TV with tweezers!
