does it leave bits of paper behind or tear clean? I'm struggling with marking my quits.

I had residual permanent blue marks left over from a quilt that took me months to quilt. First quilt and marked the entire quilt at once.....lesson learned, mark as you go, remove.

It does not leave bits and pieces behind if you use a tweezers to gently pull the bits and pieces out. It doesn't take that long. Good Luck!
Your DH is right...if you remove those connectors you will have an empty hole.
