Its hard to rip it out, it wasn't 8 1/2 X11 so I had to trim it, and it has some of the sticky stuff left on top..makes it a little tough in the printer. HELP!!!!

I know I'll get a lot of suggestions from you all...Thanks in advance :D :D
I do not use paper, instead muslin or white cotton. That way I do not have to pick out the paper bits. I usually wash foundation material and then spray it with sizing to make it stiff.
