Well, everybody, I got back to the ppiecing. It is true; if you go back over the seams and fold them, as someone showed and told today, over and over several times, it loosens up the thread. Then just tear the paper and it comes right off. It doesn't leave the seams open like it did on mine when I wrote in early this morning.
I think what that does is to loosen up the stitches and helps them tear away from the paper.
Aren't we a crafty bunch!!
