I am an EPPiecer who thanks to the wonderful people here is now branching out into the world of machines.
I pin my fabric to my paper (1 centre pin is fine) then fold over the edges and baste (no need to go through the paper). Remove the pin and you are good to go for the next one.
To save getting bored I do a pile of pinning and basting, then stitch a few together, then go back to pinning and basting.
Here's a pic. Back of part complete block
