You can use freezer paper, one piece for each block, then you don't have to rip it off since you don't sew thru it. Use a threadless needle and your machine to sew on all the sewing lines of the pattern. Iron the freezer paper to your fabric and it'll stick, fold on your sew line, stitch right next to the line and go onto the next piece. Cheryl Malkowski shows how to accomplish this in her book " Blocks to Diamonds". I've done this and it works wonderfully!
